From: Merlo, Ellen on Mon, Nov 7, 1994 4:06 PM Subject: RE: Restaurant Field Program To: Portnoy, Sharon Cc: Keane, Denise; WaIIs, Tina 9a / oaavo A LOOK THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT SOMEONE WILL START TRACKING W1IERE THE LETTERS ARE COMING FROM AND WE ONLY GET STUNG WHEN WE TRY TO HIDE OUR INVOLVEMENT. IF THEY ARE LEGITIMATE LETTERS, THEN THERE IS NO REASON TO DENY THAT THE INDUSTRY IS MAKING SURE THAT LETTERS THAT GET YTRiTIEN TO 1BE SPEAKER AND THE GOVERNOR ARE BEING SHARED BY THE COUNCTI. MEMBERS. OF COURSE, WE BETTER HAVE ENOUGH LETTERS TO BE IMPRESSIVE. I WOULD ASSUME THAT SINCE WE ARE CONTRIBU'IgIG TO THE PROGRAM, DENISE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. From: Portnoy, Sharon on Mon, Nov 7, 1994 4:05 PM S ubject: Restaurant Field Program To: Merlo, Ellen; Walls, Tina One of the elements of the Restaurant Field Program that I would like to start 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 contiacted to the TI and there is to be no id on the faY. 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
