The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors last night gave its
support to a congressional APP
preparation to buy parklands
between Cabin John and Great
Falls.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission is seeking
SIS million as the Govern
ment's share toward buying
the land for q park and for
right-of-way to extend the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway. The Senate Interior
Committee is now considering
the request.
Some opposition had devel-
oped in Fairfax 70 certain
routes proposed for extending
the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway from Cabin
John TO Great Falls. The board
previously had gone on record
opposing the use Of any county
funds for the parkway until
plans had been reviewed by
Fairfax ofiicials. A compromise
route subsequently was ad-
vanced by the planning com
mission.
Supervisor Joseph Freehill
said that he though the Senate

whether the county wants the
parklands and that this was
likely to result in Congress
refusal to make an appropria-
ton.
In a resolution passed unan-
imously by the board. the
supervisors said they were not
opposed TO an appropriation by
Congress. The resolution also
noted that q letter from John
Nolon. director Of the National
Capital Planning Commission.
had stated the county would be
consulted on specific plans for
the parkway. The supervisors
said they thought the county
would be fully protected" by
the series Of conferences out
lined by Mr.. Nolon.
Board Chairman James Keith
also noted that under legislation
authorizing Federal participa-
ton in parkland acquisition. no
Federal funds could be spent
until the locality and the State
put up their one-ouarter shares.
He said the county was not OBJ
ligated to put up any funds
without reviewing the plans.

when all expenditures are
known and bookkeeping is
completed.
Exact figures on the surplus

over half again the original
budget estimate of $144,7Sl 600,
