(See p. 258) Mr. JOHN M. WITECK, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C., January 25, 1957. Clerk, Commerce and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, Senate Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. DEAR MR. WITECK: In reply to your telephone call of January 24, 1957, the Geological Survey has not made any investigation with specific reference to the Burke, Va., area as a possible airport site. Several Survey geologists have studied Fairfax County in recent years; our Water Resources Division has assigned Mr. Paul M. Johnston to study the hydrology of the Fairfax, Va., quadrangle, which includes the Burke area; also, on an informal and voluntary basis, two of our geologists (Mr. Charles Milton and Mr. Allan P. Bennison, who is no longer with the Survey) have made a geological reconnaissance of part of Fairfax County, including the Burke area. Milton and Bennison's map is available for public use, on application to the librarian of the Geological Survey, and I am pleased to send you herewith a copy. For your information, this map is in no way an official or regular publication of the Survey, being simply a compilation of unofficial data for which there is a public demand. We trust that this information will be of service to you. Sincerely yours, THOMAS B. NOLAN, Director. Senator HOLLAND. The hearings will be closed. (Whereupon, at 3:26 p. m., Wednesday, January 30, 1957, the hearing was closed.) INDEX Civil Aeronautics Administration..
