I agree.COMPANY pub/fc/sts PLANNING 11. Plan now to invite the two people in the top national associations we are trying to get here, who could make important decision or influence the decision of those associations to hold their convention in Las Vegas, to be our guests at the opening of the Convention Hall. Recommend actually flying them here at our expense, to come out of the promotion fund, and to let them know now, 18 months in advance, of the plan, so as to help mould their thinking along the lines of recommending Las Vegas as their next big convention city. 12. Recommend discussion on staging events other than conventions and fairs and expositions at the Hall, but planning to be done NOW, so as to publicize its availability 18 months from now. Here, we may have to**create" trade shows, or sporting events ?╟÷ perhaps make the Hall the headquarters of the Sports Car Clubs of America, stage a huge annual Rally of sports cars, and work on an International Gymkana of Sports Cars, 13. The World Championship Rodeo, now under discussion, could be held here in 1959, but publicity could be valuable NOW about that, in order to ADVERTISE in ADVANCE, the availability of the Hall, 14, Recommend the name officially be ?╟╓?╟╓CONVENTION CENTER" instead of Hall. 15. Recommend immediate PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN be started ~ a) publicize a helioport at the Center. b) publicize the Opening of the Center by nuclear energy. c) publicize various features of the Center as "space-age?╟Ñ ideas. d) publicize contracted conventions NOW as bait for future conventions. Other ideas to come out of discussions. A1 freeman 9 5 08 WIL SHIRE BLVD. ?╟≤ BEVERLY HILLS, CAL. ?╟≤ BRADSHAW 2-8 611
