visiting you in the next couple of months so
keep the welcome mat out,"

"I'm staying out of Laos if I possibly can."

"We've got a good representation from the
Geological Survey today, Thad, Frank and so
forth. Do any of you have something you would
like to bring up before the meeting? No?
Well, we are just delighted to have you here

will note some figures on construction progress,
yardage of concrete placed, and so forth.

amount of concrete placed as of last week was
1,632,000 cubic yards rather than 1,500,000.

days, of about 11,000 cubic yards a day. The
highest rate he has attained since this reor-
ganization was about 9,000 cubic yards. It

figures but I understand somewhere around 500
