Much of Uie work in the operations/ administration building haa beenhe moat significant outstanding project is the installation of signs. ew have been received froa Saigon and installed, however many nore reaain on order and their arrival is expected within the aonth of March.
Continued emphasis has been placed on preparing the ground In the area of the nose hangar for concreting. Excuvation to the desired depth was accomplished by the USAF grading (after their normal duty hours} and dirt removal by the Civic Action Group who were in need of dirt fill. Forme have been laid for concreting3 ft which will extend from the preaent ramp to the nose hangar. Onof this section the process will be repeated until area is completed to the edge of the perimeter drainage ditch. Actual pouring of concrete is expected to beginarch and construction will continue through this reporting period.

Target date for completion of the above had been eet forut due to the first day of TET falling. Cn Monday several workers failed to report for duty cn the following Friday It Saturday, and preeumablyull weak of holidays, thus causing project completion date to be slipped, fork schedules were further hampered due to the airfield being closed to Vietnamese peraonnel on both Sunday and5a results of the recent attacks on the cityand Airbase.
