     The following is an excerpt from an article in the March 22 issue of
Defense Electronics:

          [Donald] Mullikin [of IBM] said delays in establishment of the
     National Airspace System, which has been criticized by the General Ac-
     counting Office and the media, can not be blamed on Ada.

          "Ada has been superior for development and we are currently per-
     fecting the system support, but the basic system is up.  The delays
     aren't accountable to Ada, but are a result of the gravity of this
     task," Mullikin said.  "Air traffic control requires 100% vigilance on
     a system that will not crash.  For that reason, we will not be opera-
     tion until April 1994."
