Because I share these concerns, I helped arrange a meeting on June 28 at the CIA to discuss concerns regarding traffic, parking and other problems. About 200 people attended this meeting. Following the meeting, I sent a letter to Harry Fitzwater, deputy director for administration at the CIA, to outline some of the major concerns raised at the meeting. I have also talked with various representatives of neighborhood groups in McLean. Both at the meeting and in my follow up contact with the agency, I indicated my view that there is an obligation for federally maintained roads to bear a greater share of the traffic generated by this federal facility. The George Washington Memorial Parkway must be fully evaluated, with appropriate consideration given to environmental concerns, as to its ability to handle a greater percentage of the increased traffic. Additionally, it is my belief that improvements are needed on Routes 193 and 123 to alleviate safety problems on those roads critical to the neighborhoods surrounding the CIA. The use of other roads in the surrounding areas should also be explored to reduce the burden on the nearby communities. The traffic problems were only a portion of the concerns raised at the meeting. As I indicated to the CIA, it is my belief that the remaining questions underscore the need for citizen involvement throughout the planning process in order to help resolve these concerns. In my follow up discussions, the CIA has informed me that they have solicited appropriate citizen representation through the McLean Citizens Association to meet with the CIA along with representatives of the National Capital Planning Commission, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, and the National Park Service to address these issues. I will continue to help as needed with these agency-citizen meetings and welcome your thoughts on this issue at any time. Frank R.
