Federal Circuit -- CORR V. METRO WASHINGTON AIRPORTS

Where Congressional legislation merely ratifies a compact between states that sets up a transportation authority, it argues against the body being considered a federal instrumentality for purposes of the Little Tucker Act.

Where only three of 13 board members are federal appointees, it is insufficient to establish that the body is a federal instrumentality.

Given petitioner's assertion that the transportation authority is an unelected entity independent of elected authorities, it cannot be a federal instrumentality under the LTA. 

Transferred to the 4th Circuit under Federal Question.
