Subject:               Seeking to clarify some confusion.

Good Morning!

The President’s EXACT words, on the use of the current security procedures which permit cleared pilots and aircraft to fly within the Washington TFR, were “This shall be done.”

For the past two days the Washington DC airspace has been ‘100% closed’ again, with the date and time to re-open seemingly shifting randomly.  All agencies deny responsibility.

I, as well as others, am inquiring as to who exactly is countermanding the President’s position.

Please advise.

D

(P.S.  Ms. Blakey, welcome to FAA!)
