MODERATE

The document was converted from a Mayor's nomination letter to a formally enrolled legislative resolution. The primary substantive change is the correction of a legal citation regarding the governing Act's law number (from 'D.C. Law 6-7' to 'D.C. Law 6-67') and a slight adjustment to the transmission of the resolution to include the Authority itself.

TECHNICAL

The legal citation for the District of Columbia Regional Airports Authority Act was corrected from 'D.C. Law 6-7' to 'D.C. Law 6-67'.

The Mayor's nomination letter, biographical resume, and signature block were removed as they are no longer needed in the final enrolled version.

Formal resolution headers, section numbering, and a 'RESOLVED' clause were added to establish the official legislative text.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement to transmit a copy of the resolution was updated to include the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority as a recipient, in addition to the nominee and the Mayor.
