AS the gates to the 9,800-acre

began arriving over the new
Federal access road leading to
Dulles from Mclean, Va. Other
arrivals approached the air.
ports main gate along the new
Sully road from Route 7, while
still others approaching from
Route so, were directed in a
second gate near the inter-

road.
Special Seats Full
A half hour before the
scheduled arrival of the Presi-
dental helicopter, 5000 seats
for invited guests in front of
the speakers platform were full.
Although the clouds we're high
there was a slight spatter of
rain as guests flocked into the
special reserve section.
AS early visitors arrived, a
light fog covered the airport
and the jets lined up for display
seemed like ghost planes across
the field. Some of the Jets
arrived this morning.
SWarmS of airport police, as
sisted by Virginia State Troop
ers and police from Fairfax and
Loudoun Counties, helped di-
rect visitors to parking areas
on a two-mile-long runwa
where more than $1,000 cars
can be easily parked.
Buses to Terminal
Dignitaries began arriving at
mid-morning, some by private
plane.
| The Presidents platform was
: thanked on each side by the
flags of LOT nations, whose rep
reSentatives were invited to the
dedication.
FAA officials extended the
, "no-walking" philosophy and
; provided buses to bring visitors
from parking areas to the ter

Buses, loaned by the Army,
shuttled between the parking
runway and the termin a |,

began shortly after the Presi-

Other accommodations also
were provided for visitors. Rest
facilities dotted the area, and
makeshift snack bars were set
up in strategic places.
Early visitors had the jump
on later arrivals. They in

buildings and visited the mobile
. lounges under uncrowded con-

Two of the giant lounges,
which will shuttle passengers
from terminal to waiting planes
mile and a half away, were
anchored to the terminal build
ing for inspection. These We
hicleS make Dulles unlike any
other airport in the world, and
emphasize comfort for the air
traveller.
Planes for Inspection
Other lounges were stationed
on the jet parking strip where
Is giant planes were lined
up for inspection. Lounges will
be used to allow visitors to
board and walk through the
huge jets.
Early arriverS apparently
took to heart the warning by
Mr.. Hallaby to dress warmly
as going to football game"
They were bundled in quilted
jackets and glowing scarves
against the airport winds.
Last night, more than 900
area business and civic leaders
attended the airport's dedica-
ton banquet at the Sheraton
Park Hotel.
When jet planes take to the
air with their first load of
passengers on Monday, IA years
! of planning and construction
will dramatically come to
| life" Mr.. Halaby told the
group.
Mr.. Halaby, principal speaker
at the banquet, offered two
, main reasons why Dulles will
be opened before every last
restaurant, hanger, hotel and
nut is carefully in place."
PLANNED to Grow"
First, Mr.. Halaby said, was

airport will not be actually
