Noise Abatement Committee. Mr. Jim Witt, Chairman, reported
that the E1 Segundo Airport Noise and Safety Action Committee is spear-
heading the organization of a coordinating council of groups in the vicinity
of the Los Angeles International Airport, to present a united front in the
battle against airport noise. Councilmen Nagel and McElhaney had been
appointed to represent the El Segundo Committee in this organization which
will represent some 200, 000 people in the area and several more cities
have indicated their desire to join the group. It is hoped that this will lead
to nationwide interest in the noise problem and eventually to action on the
federal level.
The Playa del Rey Homeowners Association has requested a Grand
Jury investigation of the functions of the Los Angeles Airport and it has
asked the City of E1 Segundo to support its stand in this matter.
Councilman McElhaney reported that the coordinating council will
be holding its meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at the City
Hall in El Segundo.
