dollars of federal and local money is being spent on a new ter-
minal, runway resurfacing, landing light installation and other
airport improvements to adequately accommodate commercial air
carriers, and

ponding increase in use of Roberts Field, and
WHEREAS, The Civil Aeronautics Board and the City of Redmond agree
that San Francisco is the primary destination for a majority of

than Eugene, join Portland as one of Redmond's two major hub
cities.
