The FAA undertook a multibillion-dollar modernization effort in 1981, but it has experienced serious delays. To get the modernization effort back on track, the FAA -- in consultation with the aviation community -- is developing a phased approach to modernization, including a new way of managing air traffic known as "free flight." This report reviews: (1) the status of the FAA's efforts to implement free flight, including a planned operational demonstration formerly known as Flight 2000; and (2) the views of the aviation community and FAA on the challenges that must be met to implement free flight in a cost-effective manner.

Millions of children in the U.S. have enough lead in their blood to cause long-term negative effects on intelligence and behavior. Lead poisoning occurs through exposure to lead in air, dust, dirt, water, food, and certain commercial products, such as paint and car batteries. Exposure to lead can harm every system in the body and is especially dangerous to fetuses and young children. This report reviewed the fed. strategy for reducing lead exposure and eliminating lead poisoning. Three agencies were examined: EPA, HUD, and CDC. It provides info. on: fed. activities to reduce lead exposure; how these activities compare with the actions identified as needed to eliminate childhood lead poisoning; and state and local lead-poisoning prevention programs.
