None have been submitted as of the date the books were prepared. Also attached is a letter from the President of the Chamber of Commerce. REC0?~NDATION: Pleasure of the Council. Mr. James Frazier Congress for Interplanetary Technology and £ducation 15560 Tustin Village Way No. 53 Tustin, California 92680 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 lIolly January 10, 1980 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Tustin Centennial Way at Main Tustin, CA 92680 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.
