Johnson" as Congressman, 1p, 8x10½. Washington, D.C., 1944
February 7. To Mr. J.H. Frederick, Vice-President, Traffic and
Transportation Bureau, Chamber of Congress, Austin, Texas. In part:
"Your letter of February 4th has just been received and I am sorry, indeed,
that I must bring you the news that the application for rehearing filed by the
Braniff Airways, Inc. has been denied. As you well know I took a very keen
interest in this matter and talked with the Board on several occasions even
before the application for rehearing was submitted. I have also talked with the
Attorney for the Braniff Airways about the matter and was happy to work with him
on it. However, as you will note from the attached order, which I have just
received, this petition for rehearing has been denied...." Shaded at margins.
Staple rust stains at upper left edge. Pencil note (unknown hand) at upper left
margin. Overall, fine condition. With a mimeographed copy of the "Order
Denying Petition for Rehearing, Reargument and Reconsideration" adopted February
2, 1944 by the Civil Aeronautics Board. It concerned the "applications of
Continental Airlines, Inc. Braniff Airways, Inc. Essair, Inc. Transcontinental
& Western Air, Inc. for certificates of public convenience and necessity
under section 401 of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, as amended and the
petitions of Fort Stockton, Tex., Alpine, Tex., and Brownwood, Tex." A
"Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity" was a certificate issued by
the Civil Aeronautics Board (now issued by the Department of Transportation) to
an air carrier under Section 401 of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 (now the
Federal Aviation Act) authorizing the carrier to engage in air transportation.
