such devices at this time.

the Office programs.. After the opening statement, the Office Heads should
be prepared. to answer questions prepared by PPB; these questions should be

Agency to alleviate the problem. Mr. Bannerman noted the legal restraints
on Government agencies, and the fact that many thousands of Government

fringe parking areas had no takers. We will dust off the old proposals
and see if we can breath some life into them. offered to bring
the figures and facts of these proposals up to date. It was also noted that
the DDI is interested inasmuch as he now has some 600 people in the
