"My gloom has been dispelled," says Mike Monroney, chairman of the Senate Aviation Subcommittee, who less than two years ago was nearly ready to abandon the SST. "I am convinced that it is now time to get our SST off the drawing board." Says Boeing President William M. Allen: "Boeing would be prepared to implement a construction program tomorrow...
