Washington, DC 20009 The first paper is a good overview of waste and recycling with local and national statistics. The second is a specific proposal for a collection and recycling system in the Mt. PleasantAdams-Morgan Area of D.C.-including cost estimates. No price given for either, but they are 12 and 9 pages, respectively, so Xerox costs and large SASE would probably help them out.

There've been countless articles and contradictory reports. This booklet is compiled by one of the persons most responsible for the bill; though rather oddly designed, looks like the last word, and as the Plaid Pantry (a minute market chain) billboards announce, "it does work." 1973 - -~-_J _+· t_ --= - _.,_ _ -- +-- ,__ -_ ----t--.--i-- ,...._,__ _ _ --· t-· t-- · ·- 1- - ·•- - • - - 1-- -- 1974 Solid Waste Management (available information materials) U.S. EPA Ntl.

Morrison Portland, OR 97205 Hello, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to return these. I had a few problems to work out first. The reason these were taken to begin with is because they're beautiful in themselves. The house was such a mess I honestly didn't think anyone would move in and try to repair anything. But you have and are working hard and it looks wonderful. So here we have your long lost and loved doorknobs. (found at our front door in sack of doorknobs)
