department said. These proposed

hearing.
Highway engineers said funds
are available only for the section
between the Parkway and Lang
ley. Future ALLEGATIONS will be
necessary to complete four lanes
between Chain Bridge and the
extended Parkway.
Plans for improvement of the
route are co-ordinated with the
proposed extension by the Fed
eral Government Of the George
Washington Parkway and with a
new Office building for the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency in the
Langley area. the engineers said.
Studies and surveys for Route
1913 from Fairfax to Chain Bridge
were launched by engineers in
1850 but development of the
route was delayed because of
the need for funds to finance
this and other major projects in
the congested Northern Virginia
area. After preliminary work, the
department gave priority to con-
struction of section of the route
between Langley fork and the
Parkway.
