Another representative has gotten back to me about my idea of a civilian aviation award. This time it was Tammy.
Dear Mr. Stehling,
Thank you for contacting me about creating a civilian equivalent for the Distinguished Flying Cross. It is good to hear from you.
I appreciate you sharing your idea about creating an award similar to the Distinguished Flying Cross to recognize acts of exceptional and life-saving flying by civilian airline pilots. As you mentioned, the pilots of Jet Blue Flight 292 are certainly deserving of recognition for their calm in safely landing with faulty landing gear on September 22, 2005. Please know that I would support Congressional recognition for their heroism.
Again, thank you for sharing your views. Your opinion matters to me. If I can be of service to you in any other way, please do not hesitate to let me know. As a result of the anthrax incidents, all mail sent to Congress is first irradiated. This process causes significant delays. To ensure the fastest response, I encourage all constituents who have access to the internet to contact me through my website at http://tammybaldwin.house.gov.
Sincerely,
Tammy Baldwin
Member of Congress
Still no world from Feingold. I wonder if he’s even going to get back to me.
