"The Library Citizens Advisory Committee is concerned that access to library materials everywhere will be

seriously reduced because of the prospect that Library of Congress cataloging and classification practices are to be severely limited or ended, especially the assignment of subject headings and classification numbers and the provision of adequate bibliographic information. The LCAC recommends that the Board of

Supervisors express these concerns to James W. Billington, Librarian of Congress (Washington D. C. 20540-4305), and also to San Francisco's representatives in Congress.
