MEMORANDUM TO: MIKE TARRANT FROM: CATHY WAGNER

Attached is a complete copy of the Alternate Program log for Monday, August 16th. As you know there was some slippage in terms of the First Session of the Convention due to cable problems. We could not get the television sets functioning in the Mission Room and therefore could not operate efficiently.
