RE: !L'I`ERNaiTI4E AND I~QLITl1RY PLAN REVISIONS
Dear Eric:
This letter and the attached flowchart outline our
recommendation regarding revisions to the Alternative and Military
Media Plans.
VACKGRO-M
The alternative and military ROP plans were on hold pending final
creative development. The initial ROP plans called for a PG 2/C,
running six times from June through December. Additionally, the
following funds were budgeted for the Alternative and Military
`Media Plans:
Alternative
8udget Military
Budget
ROP $370.6M $304.5M
Magazines - 6 93. M
Total $370.6IX $397.9M
Reses'Ve Funds5~0. AM 200 0_
_
Total $370.6M $597.91K
Following summarizes our revisions to the Alternative and Military
Media Plans. Please note that the alternative and military ROP
portions of the plan assume 4 insertions: 3-PG 2/C and either a
Centerspread 3/C or a Centerspread 2/C. We have included cost
estimates for both of the possible centerspread creative options.
PLAN

Since the original alternative ROP list was approved, we added one
new paper, il a er, in New York, per your direction.
(Attached is the revised list of altarnative newspapers).

Per your request, we have looked into readership and circulation
patterns to determine whether special/holiday issues aff@ct
circulation. We have found no data to suggest there is a
significant increase in circulation corresponding to
special/holiday issues. However, subjectively, we believe that
readers are more involved/more attentive to them, due to their
focus on local events/topics of relevance to the papers' readers.
Our revised alternative scheduling recommendation takes advantage
of potential increased reader interest in special issues and
builds rsach quickly. We recommend the following schedule for the
alternative newspaper plan:
Issue DatQS (based on Friday date of the issue date week)
ISSDB DATE ON SAIZ DATE
September 3rd (Labor Day Weekend) September 1st
September 17th September 15th
-October 8th October 6th
---October 29th (Halloween) October 27th
MIIITM NEWSPliPEit PI,~N
Attached is the updated list of base newspapers. We have dropped
one paper from the original list due to an excessive mid-year rate
increase (Ft. Sill's Cannoneer - rate increase 45%). It has been
replaced with another base paper (Camp Ioj@una°s g1412e) which
recently began accepting tobacco advertising. This new base paper
meats all of our original selection criteria (circulation, active
duty personnel, commissary sales etc.).

Per your request, we have contacted AArAF Times and requested an
alternative for our August 2nd back cover franchise position. On
a one time only basis, we.may switch our insertion date from the
August 2nd back cover to the September 6th back cover.
Plan Revisions
To complement our military base papers and ANAFTimes insertions,
we recommend the purchase of two additional military magazines,
a u and the Troop Edition of Off Duty. Attached is a spec
sheet providing additional details on both publications. Salute,
reaches theyouung male military market and thus increases reach of
the younger segment of our demographic target. Although our spec
sheet for Off Duty reflects older demographics, we believe that
the troop edition reaches a younger audience.

Reser4e,Ontions
our media cost estimates indicate that the mflitary reserve fund
is not required to cover the revised alternative snd military
plans costs.
While there are other military publications, they tend to skew
older and more female and are not recommended for the revised
military plan. As discussed previously, additional newspapers are
not a priority. Additionally, since creative units run one time
per publication, we could not add insertions. Given these
factors, we recommend returning the funds to Ka3siline to help meet
corporate deals/fund management back covers and franchises.
Let's discuss our recommendation for using these r.serve funds
at your convenience.
Sincerely,
LEO sUI2NETT v. S.R.
