2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The documents governing the Trust not only made the FAA the sole beneficiary, but gave the agency a prominent, if not exclusive, role in the Trust's administration. The FAA established the airlines' contribution formula, monitored collections with its own staff, exercised final approval power over disbursements, and participated in every phase of the decision to award Eagle the bus contract.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“While those seeking Government contracts have no right to the award of a contract, they do have a right to reasonable treatment of their bids.... This right derives from the combination of the statutory scheme regulating [the agency’s] procurement ... and the review provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 702 .”
