Re: Fatal aircraft accident that occurred on June 4, 2000, at Fort Myers, FL involving a Bell UH-1H Helicopter, N127FC

Dear Ms. House:

Enclosed please find a subpoena issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for any and all medical records pertaining to George Allen Burton, Jr., the pilot of the helicopter in the above-referenced accident.

Under 49 U.S.C. § 1131, the NTSB is responsible for the investigation of, among other things, all civil and many public aviation accidents, as well as accidents involving other transportation modes. A copy of the pertinent statute is enclosed for your information. To carry out its responsibilities, the NTSB attempts to determine the probable cause or causes of accidents, make sound recommendations for the improvement of safety and, ultimately, prevent future accidents.

In addition to issuing a written report in each investigation, the NTSB must issue periodic reports to Congress, as well as state and local transportation-related agencies, "advocat[ing] meaningful responses to reduce the likelihood of transportation accidents similar to those investigated by the Board," and is directed to "propose corrective action to make the transportation of individuals as safe and free from risk of injury as possible .... 49 U.S.C. 5 1116(a).

The NTSB is authorized to "conduct hearings ... administer oaths, and require, by subpoena or otherwise, necessary witnesses and evidence." 49 U.S.C. 5 1113(a) (1). The NTSB also possesses the statutory authority to order an autopsy, obtain a copy of an autopsy report, and may "inspect any record, process, control, or facility related to an accident investigation ....I1 49 U.S.C. § 1134(a) (2) and (f). If a subpoena, order, or inspection notice of the NTSB is disobeyed, the Board may obtain a court order for

enforcement from the appropriate district court of the United States. 49 U.S.C. § 1113(a) (4).

The requested records and samples are of the type routinely obtained by the NTSB and are necessary to the completion of a thorough investigation. They will aid in the determination of who was operating the aircraft at the time of the accident. Please contact NTSB Air Safety Investigator Alan Yurman at (305) 597-4610, ext. 13 with any questions about the materials requested in the subpoena and for shipping instructions of the samples. If you have any questions of a legal nature, you may call David E. Bass, an attorney in this office, at (202) 314- 6080.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Ronald S. Battocchi General Counsel
