In early December (1984) the FAA intentionally crashed an old passenger
jet in California.  The plane was fitted with extensive instruments,
mannequins, and dummies to evaluate the effectiveness of a fuel additive
to prevent fires.  The aircraft burst into flame on impact.  After the
explosion the head of the FAA apparently decided

	a.  to require more testing and evaluation.
	b.  to proceed with plans to require the additive.
	c.  to take the train.








According to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, December 3, 1984, the answer was (b).
