AGENDA ITEM:
APPROVAL OF LETTER TO JIM FRAZIER REGARDING THE FILM
"COMMON MAN & SURVIVAL"
BACKGROUND:
The draft letter to Mr. Frazler was submitted to Council

Also attached is a letter from the President of the
Chamber of Commerce.
REC0?~NDATION:
Pleasure of the Council.
Mr. James Frazier

Dear Mr. Frazier:
The City council co~mnends the efforts oF Brian Scott and yourself
in producing the video film "Co~on M~m and Survival" as a unique
effort on )'our part to ~nprove co~mtunications between the President
of the United States m~d the general public.
It would be inappropriate for the Council to express an official
view on the film or subject matter as the individual co~ents and
personal opinions o£ these Tustin residents should speak for them-
selves. These co~..~nents and individuals are not a full representation
of the co,~nm~ity, nor does the film represmtt the full scope or char-
acter of the Tustin Cormm~nity. Obviously, such an effort would be
much more extensive and e~ensive.
Once again, thank you for your civic effort in this project. We hope
you have a pleasant trip to Washington, D.C..
Sincerely yours,
SLS/hlr
NOTE:
If you have an), other comments, etc.,
you wish to include, change, or t.:hatever,
please respond to this office before the
next Council meeting on ]./21/80, so t may
revise the draft.
Thank you

Attn: Mr. Dan Blankenship
City Administrator
Gentlemen:
At the direction of the Board of Directors of the Tustin Chamber of Commerce
at its regular meeting on Wednesday, January 9, 1980, I am writing this
letter to advise you that our organization has formally withheld any endorse-
ment or support of the C.I.T.E. film, "Common Man and Survival", and all
attending proposed programs.
The Board has seen the film and been acquainted with the ancillary programs
and feels it would not be in the best interests of this organization or the
co~?~unity to foster the continuance of C.I.T.E.'s proposed plans.
The reasons for this position are many and varied and in the wisdom of our
Board are most valid.
Your honorable body is hereby aware of our stand and we will take the
opportunity to advise Mr. James Frazier of this decision as well as other
public and private individuals and organizations.
If there are any additional questions, please contact me or Linda Poremba,
the Chamber of Commerce Executive Manager.
Sincerely,
W. G. Colbern
President
Tustin Chamber of Commerce
