Mr George S. Moore (2)

The Federal Aviation Regulations, in our opinion, should be updated to require newly certificated airplanes to be fitted with these newer materials which have been found to be less susceptible to combustion. Additionally, it is recommended that the air carriers be strongly encouraged to utilize these materials when they refurnish their airplanes.

Upon completion of our factual report on this evacuation we will forward a copy to you. In the interim, if additional information is desired, feel free to contact Mr. Doyle in our Human Factors Section.

Sincerely yours,
