Senator JAVITS. May I remind the Administrator he owes me an answer on air rights, which I hope he will make in due course. Mr. SEMER. We have a report, Senator Javits, on air rights. Senator JAVITS. Do you want to submit that report for the record? Mr. SEMER. Yes. (See p. 408.)

Senator CLARK. I have a couple of questions which are related to other matters, and I thought I would ask them first and then come back to the matter of my larger interest.

I have here the testimony of the National Association of Counties, and they complain of the limitation on 701 planning grants for counties to those with less than 50,000 population. They recommended that the 50,000 limit be removed, and I note a large number of counties in Pennsylvania which are not part of standard metropolitan areas and which have a population in excess of 50,000.

For example, here is Adams County with 51,600, Carbon County with 52,889. There are perhaps 15 counties in Pennsylvania where the total population is as low as 51,000 and as high as 168,000, which is Fayette County, and of course Fayette County is eligible because it is a depressed area, but how long that will last nobody knows.
