HELICOPTER AIR SERVICE PROGRAM 481 supports the position adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board in its show-cause order in docket 15683. The moneys thus far expended to Congress for development and experiment of Los Angeles Airways should not at this stage be jeopardized when success is in sight. Favorable consideration by your committee will have a far-reaching effect upon the future development of this short-haul air market. F. MARION BANKS, President, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce GLENDALE, CALIF., March 1, 1965. Hon. A. S. MIKE MONRONEY, Chairman, Aviation Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Commerce, New Senate Office Building, Washington D.C. DEAR SENATOR MONRONEY: Enclosed is a copy of a resolution passed by the City Council of the City of Glendale outlining the council's attitude with respect to the Federal subsidy program for the Los Angeles Airway's helicopter service. It is out understanding that your committee will be considering this matter of Federal subsidies at your meeting of March 8. It would be appreciated if this expression on the part of our city council could be given consideration. Very truly yours, CHARLES B. BRILEY, Assistant City Manager. RESOLUTION Whereas the city of Glendale, Calif., has been receiving helicopter service from the Los Angeles Airways since 1947; and Whereas the city of Glendale has maintained a municipal heliport since 1947 at some considerable expense in order to provide its citizens and business and industry with modern helicopter service; and Whereas the city did develop a new and larger heliport in 1958 which it subsidizes almost completely and is currently considering plans for an additional heliport; and Whereas the air mail, air express and passenger service to our electronic and space industries is vital to them as well as other industries and businesses on our area; and Whereas the Federal Budget Bureau's recommendation to eliminate Federal subsidies to Los Angeles Airways after fiscal 196 could cause a cessation of service: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Council of the City of Glendale does request the Congress to phase out the Federal subsidy program over a period of years will permit the Los Angeles Airways an opportunity to maintain its present level of service to our community. The clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution. HERMAN E. BARNES, Mayor. Attest: J.H. WALTERS, City Clerk. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, County of Los Angeles, City of Glendale, ss.: I, John H.
