Default Who's on the phone?

I actually wrote the Administrator on another occasion, when I had been
flying VFR south of Dallas, and spotted an inbound SW 737 too close for
comfort. I wandered why a commercial was flying in so low.

In turn, I was invited to visit the DFW Tower facility to get a taste of
what they were up against. I supported the idea of major facilities
monitoring the entire area of their traffic.
Later, the US air space was divvied up to provide some of that
big view of the traffic round major terminal areas. That, and much
better transponder mode monitoring provides better security these days,
I believe.

Am I to be impressed after convincing the chairman
of the bank and head of the Georgia Republican party
to fly to Washington, D.C. and within 3 days bring
me a Small Business Admin. check for 350 thousand dollars?
