Mr. W. W. Betts - 2 February 16, 1948

It is a mighty fine plan but there may be some changes necessary before it will be completely applicable to air line pilots. When reading in the newspapers about a railroad man retiring, somehow the feeling is conveyed to me that he has nothing to worry about -- everything is taken care of, thanks to the Railway Retirement Act.  

I appreciate your writing so fully and expressing the deep interest you have in this problem. When the explanatory pamphlet is issued, I would like very much to hav your comments. In the interim, please assure your council we will proceed along common-sense lines and we're not going to do anything spontaneous or abrupt about the air line pilots' pension legislation. 

With kind regards, I am 

Sincerely yours,
AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION

David L. Behnoke, President
