ADMINISTRATION. The Defense Department must find a way to become an operational as well as a policymaking body in such grey areas as missile development. McElroy has promised a single manager for new space programs.

The Fish and Wildlife Service will demand guarantees that the oilmen protect the moose by routing their roads around rather than through the moose land, by keeping oil from wells from polluting the marshes. Oilmen are expected to accept these conditions, and the stiffer leasing rules. For one reason, they are anxious to get along with...
