    PLACING A HOLD ON THREE NOMINEES TO THE METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON 
                           AIRPORTS AUTHORITY

 Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I am placing a ``hold'' on three 
nominees to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Robert 
Clarke Brown, John Paul Hammerschmidt, and Norman Y. Mineta. I am 
concerned about the lack of additional landing and take-off slots at 
Reagan National Airport. Additional slots are vital to the economic 
interests of Iowa. They are also necessary to treat Iowa air travelers 
more fairly.
