SENATOR MONRONEY. The next witness is Mr. Clarence M. Belinn, of Los Angeles Airways. Will you come forward, Mr. Belinn, with your staff?

I apologize to you for the lateness of the hour and the delay. We cannot always plan these things the way we wish they could be. You may proceed in your own way.

I would like to say to the Chicago operators and perhaps the San Francisco-Oakland operators, we will try desperately to get to you in that order, and probably will try to take Mr. James Ray, president of the Washington-Baltimore Helicopter Airways tomorrow.

We intend to go to about 6 or later.

STATEMENT OF CLARENCE M. BELINN, PRESIDENT OF LOS ANGELES AIRWAYS, INC.

MR. BELINN. Sitting back there, listening, it is very interesting particularly in the context of so many new things we learn even though we are somewhat of a pioneer in the business ourselves.

My name is Clarence M. Belinn. I am president of Los Angeles Airways. I reside at 12312 Viewcrest Road, North Hollywood, Calif.

I am accompanied by my counsel, Mr. James Verner, on my right.
