Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES TRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1968 Page Two Road Commission Ends With Surplus The following letters were recently answered by The Department of State. Do you have any information concerning the allocation of Alliance for Progress funds for the purchase of land, irrigation projects, dam construction, hybrid seeds, agricultural machinery, etc.? I need such information for disertation purposes. P.B.W. Cincinnati, O. Dear P.B.W.: Government or the Chinese Communist or North Korean regime. Many efforts have been made to ascertain their fate. In April, 1965, for instance, representatives of the U.S. Mission in Geneva met with the International Committee of the Red Cross to review the status of American prisoners being held in various countries of the Far East. The matter of the 389 unaccounted-for American servicemen of the Korean conflict was one of the items for discussion, but no new information was obtained in the course of this conference. The Department of State will, however, continue its efforts to resolve this question, a tragic legacy of the Korean conflict. We have no printed information concerning the use of Alliance for Progress funds for lands, irrigation projects, and other subjects mentioned in your letter. Where Alliance-supporteprojects exist in these fields, such information is available at the local level.
