Here is the FAA press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APA 11-03
March 31, 2003

FAA STATEMENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO ADMINISTRATOR MARION C. BLAKEY IN RESPONSE TO CLOSING OF MEIGS FIELD


We at the FAA were concerned to learn
this morning of the decision to close
Meigs Field. Already, we have heard
from members of the general aviation
community and we share their concern.
Removing any centrally located airport
such as Meigs from the system only
diminishes capacity and puts added
pressure on O’Hare and Midway airports.


Hopefully everything works out for the pilots there, its a beutiful place for an airport!
