FAA run-around

I wrote basically the same letter (minus the "authorizes you" part). So,
what should be my course of action?

Send it again. This time, pay for receipt confirmation. Alternately, you
could get on the hpone and argue with them, but I've rarely found this
to be productive.

death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session.

My experience has been, that it is difficult to get a live FAA person
on the phone. Use of e-mail seems to work better:

Actually, after a brief bout of music-on-hold you can get a clerk who can look
up your records and tell you where it sits (like, have they received the stuff
your doctor sent in, etc...) They can't do much, but I suspect they might
be able to order copies for you.

That was my (one) experience. I hadn't received my certificate in the
mail and the temporary was running out. I called, they had sent it to
the wrong address. They fixed the address, faxed a new temporary, and
mailed a certificate. Time on the phone was minimal.
