Since there is no local airport authority for Willard Airport, the portion funded by local sources is to be provided by the Division of Aeronautics of the Illinois Department of Transportation. T h e Division of Aeronautics and the Federal Aviation Administration have FY 1976 equipment funds are available in the campus library budgets. To be included in FY 1977 budgets of the three campus libraries, subject to availability of funds. * The improvement program is limited to the objective indicated and goes back to initial Board action ic September 1970.
