prepared and considered for proposed facility improvements at
Dallas /Fort Worth International Airport; and,
WHEREAS, the Notice of Intent limits the scope of the Environmental
Impact Statement to a proposed 8500 -foot runway ultimately identified
as Runway 16 -34 East; and,
WHEREAS, it is public knowledge that the Dallas /Fort Worth
International Airport, through its Board of Directors and through its
respective ownerships, i.e., the Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, have
expressed their intent to totally alter and amend the Master Plan of
Dallas /Fort Worth Airport by the building of an additional runway on
the west side of the Airport, additional terminals, additional parking
facilities, additional ramps and varied other changes and improvements
so as to enable Dallas /Fort Worth Airport to handle up to 1.2 million
air traffic movements as opposed to the current number of 675,000;
and,
WHEREAS, the cumulative effects of all proposed ._.. changes are so
dramatic and of such potential negative impact upon all areas
surrounding Dallas /Fort Worth Airport, that the proposed Environmental
Impact Statement process is flawed and inadequate and must be
broadened.

EULESS that it forward to the Federal Aviation Administration and all
other interested parties, locally, within the State of Texas, and
nationally, this city's position that the scope of the proposed

anticipated changes at Dallas /Fort Worth Airport as contemplated by
the new Airport Master Plan.
