A Bureau of Mines spokesman said that henceforth, with the exception of the Rifle operation, government pilot plants will be limited to small-scal- e facilities, in said that continuing McKay laboratory work and pilot plant operations, the department will cooperate with private industry through joint projects and frequent technical discussions.

McKay approved Bureau of Mines recommendations against requesting extension of the Synthetic Liquid fuels Act which expires in April of 1955.
