Congressman Traficant's Involvement
ARAP's Interim Report was originally requested
by Congressman James A. Traficant, D - Ohio, a member of the House Aviation
subcommittee. Two days before the scheduled release of this report, in
July 1998, Congressman Traficant issued his own report stating that he
agreed with the NTSB findings but criticized the handling of the matter
by the NTSB and the FBI. He concludes by weakly stating that there should
be Congressional hearings to quell the controversy surrounding the Crash
Investigation by the NTSB and FBI. It appears that the administration has
influenced Mr. Traficant, since he issued his "report" without ever seeing
Cmdr. Donaldson's Independent analysis and now claims to support the NTSB's
position. Congressman Traficant said there was "no new evidence" to support
the missile theory even though he had not seen Cmdr. Donaldson's report.
If, after reading this report, you disagree, you should speak out.
