ACTION: Release of Incident March 11, 1987 Information, JAL1628 PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER, AAL-5 HARVEY B. SAFEER, ATS-1 : iF r Manager, Policy and Recommendation Branch FAA, Washington, D.C. A Mr. Phillip Kiass, in a nationwide wire service news story dated January 30, 1987, has stated that he reviewed a complete copy of the transcript for the above flight, even though the investigation of this incident had not been completed and none of the information had been released to the public or media. The premature and unauthorized viewing and release of this material with its subsequent publishing placed the agency in the embarrassing position of having released information which was being withheld from hundreds of other news media correspondents. This type of release places the agencies integrity in question and makes it extremely awkward for the public affairs office to respond to those correspondents who were denied the material.
