Very critical of the Omission. As we understand it, the three
legislative proposals that have drawn their fire are two from the
Commission's report on Urban and Rural America: Policies for
Future Growth calling for authorization for the establishment of
a State land development agency (along the lines of Contact
Rockefeller's activity in New York). a proposal for mandatory
dedication of park and school sites by subdivision developers
under certain conditions, and a third recommendation contained in
a report of seVeraI years ago relating to documentary stamp taxes.
In this recomendation the Commission proposed the vacation of
the Federal tax on real estate transteland a pick up of this by
the States. The Congress adopted the ACIR recmndatian and most
of the States have moved to pick up the tax.

Chairman Bryant is in comunication with Hr. Gulledge,
