You will undoubtedly find these "Q" Cards tremendously useful in your organization. And, although their use will vary with your type of business, they are going to simplify your travel expense accounts because they mean that [[underlined]]all[[/underlined]] air transportation can now be charged to and billed to the Home Office. This will furnish a convenient tax record, and a check on transportation costs. [[underlined]]All[[/underlined]] air travel will be under a single accounting control.

This, of course, is in addition to the tremendous convenience involved. For you will, in all likelihood, want your executive group to have "Q" Cards. They would then be able to purchase air travel for clients and business friends just as they do for themselves. And your representatives in the field, whether they are employees or not, who find it necessary to take customers along with them in the course of a business transaction, will find these Cards very helpful. Or perhaps you occasionally commission non-employees to make trips at your expense - you may now arrange the purchase of these tickets through any "Q" Cardholder.

The supplemental agreement enclosed is actually no more than a letter of amendment to the present contract. By signing it, you may take advantage of all these new privileges whenever you wish. For the new features enable you to [[underlined]]"custom-build"[[/underlined]] your Plan to your particular requirements.

We are sending a letter to all Cardholders explaining the new Plan which should eliminate the need for your giving them additional information. But we hope you will review the Cards now outstanding in your company and request adjustments wherever it seems advantageous. For American sincerely feels this expansion of the "charging" privileges of air travel will be very useful to you in today's highly competitive economy.

But first we are particularly anxious to adjust the contracts of the 11,000 firms and organizations now subscribing to the Plan through American. So won't you take just a moment to complete this form in duplicate and return them to us in the enclosed envelope? The second copy, of course, will be returned to you after it is signed by an officer of our company. Also enclosed is a form to be used for requesting additional Air Travel Cards.

Thank you for your prompt cooperation!

Cordially yours,
