What gave you that idea? I'm pointing out that Bush embraces federal
government privatization, and Clinton didn't. Nothing more.


Privatization of VFR towers occurred during the Clinton administration.


Wasn't the FAA practice of operating "contract towers" a long standing
policy that spanned many administrations and is continuing to occur
during the present administration?

Incidentally, have you got a link to information about FDR's
establishing ATC as being an inherently governmental function as you
asserted earlier in this thread?
