<br />"Today, I attended a meeting in the Norfolk Port A~thority office, at the invitation of
<br />Michael M. Hera, to discuss air transpo=tationvis helicopser in the area within fifty
<br />miles of Portsmouth. Spacifically, the area would be Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk,
<br />Franklin~ Smlthfield, Williamsburg, Newpo~ Ne~s, WarwkLck m~d Hampton. Crawferd S.Rogers~
<br />Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Norfolk Por~ Authority, ie anxious to have
<br />the City of Portsmouth support the application of Nations. Airlines, Inc,, before the
<br />Civil Aeronautics Board. This Ls merelY urging that the C.A.B. approve the 3 temporary
<br />exemption i~sofar as the requirements of tk~ Act prevent National from performing
<br />such service at the present time. This phrase w~s practically copied from the applies-
<br />.t ion filed before the attorneys of the NationS/ Airlines. It might be well to ~ate that
<br />the temporary exemption would be pursuant to Section 416-B of the A.A. Act of 1938 as
<br />~me~de4;
<br />The e~ersement of this program entails no financial reeponeibility. A copF of the
<br />petition to intervene in support of the applicatien filed by Natienal is inclosed.
<br />.~essrs.. Ro~ers~ Duek~erth, Maro, in addition to other municipaI, officials indicated
<br />that they desire to have s~pport of this program from Council or from th~ Mayor or
<br />yourself Before February 1st. May I suggest that the endorsement be sent to ~r. Crawford
<br />Rogers of the Norfolk Port Authority?"

<br /> drainage mud ether improvements, from Myron Stmrgeon and Associates, the Engineers employed by f~he City of
<br /> Portsmouth to prepare the pla]lS for this work.
<br /> ! recommend that the City ~la~er in collaboration with the Director of P~hlic Works an4
<br /> Directbr of City Planning he entb~rized s~ dii~ected se prepare a ~lun of ~,/blic imp'roveaments to include storm
<br /> drainage, curbs an~ g~tters, si~walks and sDreet improvembnts ~ere ~eded, said plan~t~ include e~'imat~s of
<br /> coss of improvements, recommended means of financing, ~nd period of time required to complete the werk~
<br /> It %~I1 require several months to prepare the first etage of such a plan, but I am of the
