Gillette, executive director of the North Carolina State Ports author ity. Colonel Gillette based his hope on the scheduled inspection tour of the ports Wednesday and Thurs day by the Interagency ComVnittee on Port Utilization. This committee, representing var ied phases of federal government activity in business, industry and iransportation, controls the alloca tion and utilization of all ports in uhe United States.
