He felt\nRN's rejection of report was throwing \"cold water¹¹ on it, but he\npointed out Pres. Comm. reports usually are put aside if not\nfavorable. He didn't feel \"door had been slammed\" or that Admin.\nis \"hostile\" to Comm. findings, and understood RN's actions in\nview of fact it was election year and abortion was hot issue.\nDowns pointed out positive study of population problem continues\nin Govt. agencies, w/HEW studying report, and pointed out quiet\nchange is way some things have to be accomplished.

Still pilots\nand airlines are expected to protest as they want a federal force\nand they want help soon. Reporter concluded that it'll take an ironclad\nint'l agreement on immediate extradition of hijackers before problem\nends.\nNBC film (CBS note) of Airline Pilots Assn. meeting, w/Oliver\nnoting some attendees are angry, but all are concerned over hijackings,\nand want to pressure the Admin. into tougher action.
