WASHINGTON. o. c.


OURs is an immense and magnificent country
3,6l5,2ll square miles of land, stretching east
ward to Maine and Florida, and westward to
Alaska and Hawaii. But how many of us Ameri-
cans have seen it all? Or even most of it?
Yet key world leaders and diplomats come
here and ask to see cross section of the people
and places that make America As Chief of Proto-
col for both the State Department and the White
House, it is part of my job to try to suggest to
them those areas that will give clearer idea of
Americas ideals and sincerity of purpose to the
end that they will understand US better
You may be interested in ten of the places

consider diplomats Tour" when you plan
your next vacation. 1t could very well give your
family, it does our distinguished visitors from
overseas, new look at the traditions and glory of
our country.
For the most part, our program tries to suggest
places other than the large metropolitan centers,
like New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and San
Francisco, to which visitors find their way without
our help. Right now, for example. we are talking

WE RARELY PASS UP an opportunity
to take important visitors through
Williamsburg. At first glance you see
a charming l8th-century town, over
400 buildings restored with all the
grace and dignity of the past.
But Williamsburg also reflects
Americas greatest tradition: political
liberty. 1t was the capital of Virginia
when Virginia was a British colony,
and its public men were to become the
first patriots of the new nation. George
Washington sat in the House of Bur-
gesses here. Patrick Henry served in
the legislature here. And Thomas JEFF
ferson began his government career in
Williamsburg when he was Is years
old.
Many important visitors to the
us. are eager to learn more about our
Colonial past. | recall the visit last
September of Senior DR.. Don Manuel
Prado y Ugarteche, president of Peru.
He and Sonora Prado were especially
fascinated with the hand-crafted antique
silver they saw, and compared it with
the silver produced in the same period
in Colonial Peru.

three million dollars has been pro-
vided for the salaries of employees
of the National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency and for contracting
work to be let by the Agency AS
you know, the Agency is due to re-
port to the Congress on the first
of November Of this year on its
recommendations for plans and
programs and its suggestions CON
cerning rapid transit, highways and
which will reduce the traffic clog
which makes its difficult to get in
to and out of the city of Washing
ton The bill provides 100000 to
be matched equally by the state
of Maryland to complete the
acquisition of lands for the extern
sion of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway from the Dis
trict of Columbia to the new Cabin
John Bridge Incidentally, the
Cabin John Bridge will be opened
sometime during the latter part
of another help for our
travellers and commuters in the
Washington Metropolitan Area.
A sum of money also has been
appropriated and approved by the
conference committee for the ac-
QUESTION of the land for an extra
wide median strip for Interstate
Route 95. We need this wider strip
in the middle in order that there
may be land available if it is
ultimately decided to put rapid
transit system between the dual
lines of traffic
Finally, it is extremely encourag-
ing that we obtained the approval
of the conference committee for
Sl50,000 for stabilizing the banks of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The stabilization program will be
limited to the area which would
be above possible inundation
should the Potomac River ever be
damned This is an important step
forward in preserving this national
monument and look forward to
the day when this work will be
incorporated into the canal prop

able to report that the Antictam
Battlefield-certainly one of the
most important Civil War sites in
the entire country-will benefit
again this year from funds which
will be appropriated for the acqui-
sition of more land and for the de-
velopment of facilities at the battle
field site.
Earlier this year the sum of ST.
100000 had been requested for the
purchase of Civil War lands at a
number of sites. The House APP
proved 100000 for this purpose.
The Senate was a little more gen
erous than the House, but the con
ferees agreed to 100000, the fig
ure first set by the House For
tunately. because the National
Park Service has S60O,0OO remain
ing from previous appropriations.
there is today over a million dol
lars available for the acquisition of
Civil War battlefield sites. The en-
couraging thing for Maryland is
that for the coming year the Ma
tional Park Service will allocate
the sum of S26O,SOO for the acquisi-
tion of lands at Antietam Battle
field.
In the report of the conference
committee there is also encourage
ment and hope for those of us
who travel the highways around the
city of Washington. All commuters
who travel daily from the Maryland
suburbs into the District of Co
