SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44908(a), on September 
20, 1995, the Department of State issued the following public 
announcement:
    On September 15, 1995, the United States Secretary of 
Transportation determined that the Eldorado International Airport, 
Bogota, Colombia, does not currently maintain security measures which 
are fully consistent with the standards established by the 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The Department of 
Transportation believes that air service operations can be safely 
continued if proper precautions are carefully observed. Currently, U.S. 
air carriers and foreign air carriers who fly directly to the U.S. are 
providing additional security measures that counter the deficiencies 
identified at Eldorado International Airport.

    Dated: September 26, 1995.

Managing Director, Overseas Citizens Services.
