As soon as I learned about this, I immediately got on the phone with a number of different leaders, including local leadership. And what I can tell you with absolute certainty is that The FAA did not notify anyone locally. They did not notify me, as I mentioned, and I represent the El Paso International Airport. I also represent Fort Bliss and the El Paso community. They did not alert the El Paso International Airport. They did not alert the El Paso city manager or the El Paso mayor. (27:22–27:32)
