This committee will review the products and recommendations of the Joint Program for Land Use -Transportation Planning. As you know, political decisions are needed before plans can be carried out. Elected officials are the political decision -makers in the Area and, we believe,should be involved in the plan preparation stages of the Joint Program.

The first meeting of the Elected Officials Review Committee will be held: Wednesday, November 10, 1965 8: 00 p.m. - Cafeteria Highland Park Senior High School Snelling Avenue and Montreal Avenue Saint Paul, Minnesota (See attached map) If you cannot serve on this committee, please designate a member of your governing body to serve as its representative. It is important that representation be continuous, if possible, with the same person attending all six presently scheduled meetings.
