A December 21, 1984 front-page newspaper clipping from the International Herald Tribune reporting that U.S. officials would not challenge British Airways' proposal to cut New York-London fares by 35 percent. The article mentions that previous fare reductions had been blocked due to antitrust concerns, including investigations into whether major airlines had illegally forced Sir Freddie Laker's budget airline out of business.
