<br /> "Thank you for sending me a copy of the resolution concerning P.L. 874 funds which was
<br />recently adopted by the Portsmouth City Council. There have been several attempts to reduce
<br />these impact funds in the past, and I have acted against such moves by supporting amendments
<br />that would increase appropriations. You may rest assured that I will continue to do so.
<br />
<br /> The action of the Council has my wholehearted endorsement- I appareciate your calling
<br />it to my attention." '

<br />these funds are allocated, with particular reference to the "B" category.

<br /> The proposal is now being considered by the Labor-HEW Subcommittee of the Appropriation~
<br />Committes, of which I am a member. You may be sure that I will take your views into con-
<br />sideration in my final evaluation of this bill."

<br />
<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting on May 2, 1972, the City~Pianning Commission received
<br />a suggestion that Richmond A~enue between High and County Streets be changed to TWINE AVENUE
<br />The purpose of this change~would be to reflect the fact that Richmond Avenue is a discontinu~
<br />ous street, and its breaks are not readily apparent to someone unfamiliar with the City of
<br />Portsmouth. The name itself would satisfy local residents who wish to bestow honor upon
<br />Bishop Twine whose House of Worship is situated nearby. On both counts, the Planning Commis-
<br />sion ~s in agreement and recommends approval of the suggestion."
