I 
believe he (President Barack Obama) is instructing his agencies to do things 
that inflict the most pain on the most people. This should be 
laid right at the president's feet," Shuster said.The FAA's 47,000 employees 
-- including nearly 15,000 controllers -- are scheduled for one furlough 
day every other week through Sept. 30. That will reduce the number 
of controller hours on duty and pay by 10 percent, Huerta said.In 
order to maintain safety with fewer controllers, takeoffs and landings will 
have to be less frequent, and planes will have to be spaced 
farther apart when they are in the air, he said. That reduces 
the efficiency of the air traffic system, creating delays, he said.The impacts 
may differ depending upon the airport, Huerta said. At Chicago's busy O'Hare 
International Airport, for example, it's possible there won't be a full 
complement of controllers to staff the airport's two control towers, requiring 
one tower to be shutdown. Without a second tower, one of the 
airport's runways will have to shut down, reducing takeoffs and landings, 
he said. Most airports only operate one control tower.The employee furloughs 
will save an estimated $200 million, and the tower closings will save 
$25 million, Huerta said.A spokesman for the union that represents air traffic 
controllers said the ramifications of the furloughs are still unclear."We 
don't know with any specificity what's going to happen until this goes 
down," Doug Church of t
nment Accountability Office found 
that although the number of mental health records available to the background 
check system increased 800 percent since 2004, some states said they were 
not sharing mental health information because of concerns about restrictions 
under HIPAA privacy law. Obama is interested in a change that would 
specifically allow disclosure of mental health records for the system, and 
he wants to increase financial incentives for states to contribute the information.In 
the Virginia Tech rampage, student Seung-Hui Cho shot 32 people to death 
and committed suicide. He was able to buy two guns even though 
he had been ruled a danger to himself during a court hearing 
in 2005 and was ordered to undergo outpatient mental health treatment.Authorities 
have not described a possible motive or released details of any mental 
health condition that might explain why Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza killed 
20 children and six adults before killing himself. The rifle he used 
was purchased by his mother, whom he also killed at home before 
heading to the school.The background check system does not give retailers 
access to mental health records but simply tells them whether a buyer 
is approved, denied or needs additional investigation before a firearm may 
be purchased. The system doesn't tell the seller why a potential buyer 
was denied.
