From: Merlo, Ellen on Mon, Nov 7, 1994 4:06 PM Subject: RE: Restaurant Field Program To: Portnoy, Sharon Cc: Keane, Denise; Walls, Tina 9 a 1 Oaavo A LOOK THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT SOMEONE WILL START TR.ACKtNG WHERE THE LETTERS ARE COMING FROM AND WE ONLY GET STUNG WHEN WE TRY TO HIDE OUR IIVVOLYEMENT. IF THEY ARE LEGITIMATE LETTERS, THEN THERE IS NO REASON TO DENY THAT TE3E INDUSTRY IS MAKING SURE THAT LETTERS THAT GET wRTrlEN TO THE SPEAKER AND THE GOVERNOR ARE BEING SHARED BY TBE COUNCIL MEMBERS. OF COURSE, WE BETTER HAVE ENOUGH LETIERS TO BE IMPRESSIVE. I WOULD ASSUME THAT SINCE WE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROGRAM, DENISE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. From: Portnoy, Sharon on Mon, Nov 7, 1994 4:05 PM Subject: Restaurant Field Program To: Merlo, Ellen; Walls, Tina One of the elements of the Restaurant Field Program that I would like to stan implementing later this week, are faxes of letters written by individual restaurants into the district offices of all members of the city council. The plan, at this time is to have the faxing done by the firm that is contracted to the TI and there is to be no id on the fax. Do either of you have problems. Do I have to get legal approval if this is a TI program? We would probably plan to start on Thursday. Thanks
