A STUDY IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA WAS MADE OF THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS AND RELOCATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE NORTH LEG OF THE INTERLOOP. A SUMMARY IS GIVEN OF THE VIEWS EXPRESSED INDICATING AREAS OF CONCERN' PSYCHOLOGICAL FUTURE OF THE ELDERLY IF FORCED TO VACATE THEIR HOMES, SUFFICIENT AVAILABLE HOUSING FOR THOSE DISPLACED, AVAILABILITY OF DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH CONVENIENT SHOPPING FACILITIES AND THE NATURAL FEAR OF A PHYSICAL CHANGE TO THE UNKNOWN. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF A PHYSICAL CHANGE ON A PEOPLE CAN LEAD TO THE INCORPORATION OF PROGRAMS THAT CAN HELP TO DISPEL FEARS, IMMOBILIZE SOME OF THE OPPOSITION, AND PRODUCE RESULTS WHICH NOT ONLY CORRECT THE SITUATION AS THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AIMS TO DO BUT CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE SATISFACTION OF MOST OF ITS RESIDENTS. WITHOUT PROGRAMMED ACTIVITIES, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT RESENTMENT AND HOSTILITY MAY INCREASE TOWARD NEW HIGHWAYS AND URBAN RENEWAL IT IS PROPOSED THAT' NO MOVE SHOULD BE MADE UNTIL HOUSING AVAILABILITY IS ASSURED, HOUSING FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES MUST BE EXPANDED, AN EFFECTIVE RELOCATION SERVICE MUST BE PROVIDED, AND THE SOCIAL EFFECT OF THE PUBLIC ACTION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CITY MUST BE APPRECIATED.
