Main difficulty was lack of training of pilots in insmt flying.-

Dorff strongly recommends a complete plan showing work for all agencies and corelating all work.

No work started yet on traffic control - 

To date have made about 70 instrument take-offs and same number of landings from low approaches - only 3 or 4 landing under load -

Board has had 5 presidents in less than two years - Peabody - Saville - Marriner - Eubank - Strickland.

Board now thinks of all wx project as single problem which must be completely solved - No interim solutions -

Will take years -
