Ms. Patty Matson Room 2102 Bond Court Hotel 777 St. Clair Street Cleveland, OH 44114

Dear Ms. Matson:

In regard to our telephone conversation today, I would like to reemphasize our desires to be able to d an interview with Mrs. Gerald Ford during her visit on behalf of the Inter­ national Women's Year Congress this Saturday, October 25.

I have made arrangements for our portable minicam videotape unit to be available for the entirety of Mrs. Ford 1s visit. While I understand from you that Mrs. Ford has requested that she not be scheduled to do any private interviews, I would hope that she might recon- sider in this case. Since we are a network owned and operated station, we will be doing • taping not only for our ninety-minute special program that will air this Sunday, October 26, but we will also be feeding news stories concerning Mrs. Ford's visit to the entire network. Obviously, an opportunity to talk to the First Lady for only a few minutes would mean more exposure.

I would even be willing to take the minicam unit to the airport and videotape something with her upon her arrival, en route to downtown Cleveland in her limousine, or any location at any time that would be convenient to the First Lady.

Attached is a list of the personnel, their positions and Social Security numbers, that I would have with me on Saturday. I understand that you need this information for proper Secret Service clearance.

Again, as I mentioned during our telephone conversation, please call me at your convenience and I will be glad to stop by to give you any assistance that I can in making plans for Mrs. Ford's visit. Thank you.

Senior Producer
