Eight of those offices are
here in the Southeast, one each
in Atlanta and Savannah, Ga.,
Jacksonville and Miami, Fla.,
Charleston, S. C., Birmingham,
Ala., Memphis, Tenn., and
Greensboro, N. C., which in ef
fect, are small-scale Depart
ment of Commerce agencies in
their own localities.
Similar field offices are func
tioning in 22 other contermin
ous States of the United States,
and in Alaska and Honolulu
and in Puerto Rico.
Primarily, those offices carry
out the field programs of four
major divisions of the Depart
ment of Commerce — the Busi
ness and Defense Services Ad
ministration, Bureau of Inter
national Programs, Bureau of
International Business Opera
tions, and Office of Business
Economics.
In addition, they disseminate
data of the Bureau of the Cen
sus, and serve as a local infor
mation center for other Depart
ment agencies, such as the
National Bureau of Standards,
United States Patent Office,
United States Travel Service,
and Area Redevelopment Ad
ministration.
They also advise and assist
the business public in matters
pertaining to the Agency for
International Development, the
Export-Import Bank, and the
Foreign Credit Insurance Cor
poration.
At each field office, experi
enced business specialists assist
in the solution of business prob
lems, furnish information and
publications on the programs
and services of the Commerce
Department and other Federal
agencies, and provide counsel
on both foreign and domestic
, business operations. These
trained staff members also are
available to address business
groups in the area.
Each office maintains an ex
tensive business library of
Government and private re
poj’ts, publications, periodicals
and directories. It also stocks
and sells many useful publica
tions on business subjects issued
by the Superintendent of Docu
ments.
The basic economic objective
of the U. S. Government is an
expanded, more dynamic and
productive national economy
that will strengthen the nation
at home and abroad, provide
full employment, and raise the
American standard of living to
new levels.
Expanded international trade
-- especially an increase in
U. S. exports — is one of the
most important ways in which
this objective can be attained-
Many new opportunities in
foreign trade now are open to
American producers, marketers
and investors. The Commerce
Department and other Federal
agencies are taking all possible
steps to help American com
j panies tgke advantage of these
i opportunities.

Sanders Defends
Gillis in Stand
On Expressway
ATLANTA — Governor Carl
Sanders has described High
way Director Jim L. Gillis as
“one of the finest public serv
ants Georgia has ever had.”
The Governor’s statement
came as a result of criticism by
city officials in Atlanta for
what they term “delays” in the
completion of the Atlanta Ex
pressway. Sanders said the
criticism “is the most unfair
thing anybody dreamed of—
— is pretty well clear the High
way Department is in no way
responsible for the situation.”
“I think Mr. Gillis has been
mistreated in the entire situa
tion. I know for a fact that he
has done everything he can
around Atlanta and throughout
the State. He’s got full and
complete support of the High
way Board.”
Each field office director and
his staff of business specialists
is anxious to help increase for
eign and domestic business acti
vity in his area, and to help
local business expand and
prosper.
