No-one enters the Range after 9:30 A.M. Convoy starts at 7:00 A.M. All cars will have numbers, and all must have identification or will be refused admittance. All VIPs will be assigned to specific cars and other transportation. Extra busses will be spotted along route to pick up passengers from disabled transportation. No transportation should leave Las Vegashalf-empty, but should stop by resort hotels to pick up delegates. Helicopters will be utilized whenever possible; however, this is not expected to make any dent in the demand for wheels. Civil Air Patrol personnel are being instructed and utilized as Volunteer Drivers for the Committee. It was determined that drivers may accept gratuities from passengers. In addition to the use during the "Big Move", 53 official World Congress of Flight cars will be available during entire week for transporation of VIPS, - 26 courtesy of General Motors Oldsmobile Division. These, incidently, have been loaned (15 of the convertibles) to the Variety International Convention, to assist them in transportation of their convention delegates, VIPs and strip hotel stars appearing at their Banquet.
