U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Sir= I am writing in response to the recent passing, of a bill .banning smoking o~ domestic air flights of two hours or less. .' 1 would like to state, as a non-smoker~ that this action is, in my opinion, unnecessary and unfair. This bill was psssed on the "House Floor", wi'th,out prior congressional hearings or substantive discussion of the issue, and in the i'ac~ of opposition from the Airlines Pilots Association, the Air Transport Association, several specific airlines, the Airport 0~)erators Council, American Association of Airport i~xecutives and 'the American Society of Travel Agents...not to mention the £act that 87 percent of the flying public li~qes the current smoking/~omsmoking arrangement jus~t.fine, according to a survey by the Pilots Association. 1 ask that you consider these FACTS and find that a smoking ban on aircraft is wrong and, unnecessary and should be defeated in AP~Y £orm. Sincerely, Edward A. Duvinski TI0045-1273
