We note your admission that improvements are necessary and your 
confidence that solutions are available.  But technical solutions
are prone to solve one problem and create another.  No judgement can 
be made until experience is available.

In respect of operational and human lapses which are a major cause of 
concern you suggest no specific remedies.  It may not be the technician 
of which we stand in the greatest need.  Time will show.
