are carefully drafted by the Fed

Representative Broyhill, Repub-

overall metropolitan authority

ports. railway and bus terminals,
harbor and port facilities and
build bridges and tunnels. Mr..
Broyhill has said this could be
substituted for or combined with
the Commissioners bill to set
up a transit authority.

bill. according to an announce
Iment from his office. was con-
tanned in letter from Oscar H.
IBeasley. first vice president and
chairman OF the Civic Affairs
