Digitized from Box 27 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
JUNE 10, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President today announced that he has issued an Executive Order to
improve the process of Presidential review of certification and permit decisions
of the Civil Aeronautics Board involving international and overseas air trans-
portation. The Order establishes, for the first time, guidelines to better assure
fairness in the review process and to avoid suspicions of impropriety.
In taking this action, the President is ordering that staff members in the
Executive Office of the President not discuss pending cases with interested private
parties. (A controlled exception is possible in unusual circumstances.) The
Order directs Executive Branch departments: and agencies to present their views
on regulatory issues, whenever possible, to the CAB, on the record, in the
regular course of its proceedings.
A procedure is established for the release of CAB decisions as soon as they
are screened for foreign policy or national defense matters that must remain
confidential. This procedure accords with a recent court decision involving the
release of CAB decisions under the Freedom of Information Act.
Executive Branch departments and agencies are directed to establish public
dockets and other procedures to govern communications from private parties
on CAB decisions. In certain cases, the Executive Order contemplates that the
President may indicate that he would have no objection to judicial review of
CAB decisions and proceedings.
The provisions of the Executive Order being issued today will become effective
on the thirtieth day after publication in the Federal Register. Thus, the
effective date is contemplated to be on or about July 11, 1976.
