Dear Representative Rountree:

I am in the process of writing each member of the General
Assembly in my troop and apprising the members of the_activi-

ties of the Patrol and the accidents that occurred in 197? on
a local level. You probably are aware of this information;

however, I thought perhaps it might be of interest to you.

I have attached hereto information regarding activities of
the Highway Patrol and the accident situation in _Pitt and
Greene Counties in 1972. You wilI note that we had 41 per-
sons killed in the two counties that you represent, with over
600 persons injured. During this time, the Patrol in both
counties made a total of 7,322 arrests, which included 578
persons that were apprehended for driving under the influence.
I hope this information will be of help and assistance to you
in any safety legislation that comes before the House.

When the weather gets better, I want to get together with you
and play a round of golf.

With kindest personal regards,

R. F. Williamson

Captain, State Highway Patrol
