MEETING WITH INLAND DAILY PRESS ASSOCIATION ~ VVednesday, February 25, 1976 5:00pm (30 minutes) East Room

From: Ron Nessen ·

I. PURPOSE

To meet with executives of the Inland Daily Press Association and their wives.

II. BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS, AND PRESS PLAN

A. Background

The fuland Daily Press Association is the oldest and largest • regional press association in the country. Over 500 daily newspapers are members. Although some are metropolitan newspapers·, most · are in the 5, 000 to 50,000 circulation category, and therefore few have been represented at your regional media breakfasts and luncheons.

As Vice President, you addressed the Association in Denver on March 5, 1974. You were unable to accept their invitatio;; to meet with them in Chicago in October, 1975, or to join them at their recently concluded meeting in VVilliamsburg, Virginia, February 23 and 24, 1976. Bill Gorog, however, represented you at the VVilliams­ burg meeting.

The group will be briefed by Jim Lynn, Alan Greenspan, and Bill Baroody. (This past year the Association served as a co-sponsor of a VVhite House Conference on Domestic and Economic Affairs in Milwaukee, VVisconsin in August; and assisted with two others in ~t. Louis, Missouri; and Peoria, Illinois.)

Among. tho5e' principles is one which calls for the ·appOrtioning of the costs of all postal operations to all · ; users of the mail on a fair and equitable basis. I sup- · ~ port that principle~ I belieye it is sound and that it should be P_ursued to the maxim~ extent possible.
