"Bill" Schroeder, Chuck Benedict CO-CHAIRMEN: Irv Terry, Rudy La Russo EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: David Marmel Mr. A1 Freeman Sands Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada May 27, 1969 Dear Al: I want to thank you for setting up the meeting yesterday between your heads of departments and our people from KTTV. The consensus is that the meeting was very meaningful to all parties concerned. Upon reviewing our list, I find that invitations to the June 2nd Press Conference were extended to Don Digilio and Tom Diskin. To date, we have heard from neither. It is too bad you will not be able to attend this function; however, I am sure we will have the opportunity of seeing one another again, prior to the telecast. Again, thanks for all your help and best regards David Z.
