A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
REQUESTING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO SUPPORT
PASSAGE OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT, CALLING FOR
CONTINUED FUNDING OF THE SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT PROGRAM
DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
WHEREAS, the technological capabilities of the California aerospace
industry has been a major factor in gaining world preeminence for the
United States of America in aerospace endeavors; and
WHEREAS, appropriations are necessary during the current fiscal
year for the continued development of "prototype" models of the "SST ";
and
WHEREAS, the California aerospace industry is already suffering from
the results of cancellations of existing projects, thereby contributing
to the loss of thousands of jobs, further contributing to instability in
the California economy; and
WHEREAS, the discontinuance of funding for the Supersonic Transport
will contribute to the further weakening of the concentration of skills
and knowledge in the aerospace industry so essential to the eventual
solution of the vexatious domestic problems which continually beset our
nation; and
WHEREAS, major opposition to the continued development of the
Supersonic Transport appears to be directed toward unsupported and
unsubstantiated concerns;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Downey does request
passage of the Conference Committee report calling for continued funding
of the Supersonic Transport during the current fiscal year.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and cause copies to be directed to Senators George Murphy and
Alan Cranston, Senator elect John Tunney, members of the California
Congressional Delegation, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors,
the City of Anaheim, and to the City Councils of the 77 incorporated
cities in Los Angeles County.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of December, 1970.
