Thank you for your recent letter to inquire about the availability of Congressional documents. It is my pleasure to enclose copies of H. R. 4312 and H.R. 7720, the "Airport and Airway Development Ex- tension Acts of 1975," in which you expressed interest . As you will note, these two measures were introduced by The Honorable Dale Milford in the House of Repre- sentatives during the 1st Session of the 94th Congress. Upon introduction, H.R. 4312 and H.R. 7720 were referred to the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, and both bills are currently pending before the Subcom- mittee on Aviation. Subcommittee hearings began on H.R. 4312 on April 14, 1975, and are still underway. No action has been taken regarding H.R. 7720. Thank you also for your comments regarding develop- ment plans for Sea Tac. I hope that the enclosed documents' will be of assistance to you in your study of airport development programs. Best regards. ~i=~A~~ Warren G. ~a~~~sof, U.S.S. WGM:cb Enclosures

Our meeting on June 14, 1974, concerning the SeaTac/Communities Plan was helpful in clarifying some of the questions on the future progress of the study. One item of special concern to us is the determination of the most effective method of informing the citizens of the study conclusions and recommendations. During our meeting, differing views concerning this matter were expressed. We recommend that at least two or three public meetings be held at appropriate locations in the study area for purposes of providing the citizens with the study conclusions and recommendations prior to their presentations to the elected officials of the Port and King County. Perhaps the most effective format to use is to nave a panel involving both 8ppropri. ::~rp mAmh~'>r<:: nf tJ-"ll? u::~rj_ 0,JC::: t:itize!!

Obviously, these public meetings should be well publicized prior to the meeting dates. The degree of the formality under which the meetings are conducted is a matter which should be thoroughly considered. We presume that a "dry run" of the presentations would be made prior to the actual meetings. Needless to say, we were disappointed that more citizens did not participate in the June 10-13 open house…
