CAP GRATITUDE
... to Director Richard H. Rich for
a very tough job well done as MARTA
Chairman. Operating under the most
adverse conditions, he has moved
Atlanta much farther toward Rapid
Transit than might appear on the
surface.
Under his competent direction the
thought processes have been put into
motion, basic planning has been done,
and the public alerted to the urgent
need for action.
Atlanta is not a City to accept
defeat; it will resurge, and when it
does, the next steps will come easier
and quicker because of the excellent
groundwork accomplished under the
leadership of RICHARD H. RICH.
TRANSPORTATION ACTION PROGRAM
Mayor Allen has sent to Washington
a formal application for Dept. of
Transportation help on circulation
and access problems in Central
Atlanta --- a team effort of the
City and CA Business Community.
A unique action program. Will pave
way for action projects --- proced-
ure complicated and tedious, but
necessary to get maximum Federal -
State-City assistance on critical
central core transportation
projects.

- CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS, U.S.A.
