Abstract:
When this topic was assigned to me some six to seven months ago, I had formulated in my mind a fairly well established procedure that I would attempt to follow. Since that time there have been several official announcements made by the Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Interior concerning the role of their respective Departments in area development. These announcements and the increased activities of various federal agencies in area development have influenced my thinking concerning the topic assigned to me. Therefore, I have changed my original thoughts concerning this paper.
