Much work has been done in regards to this by two captains from the EAL property. I am appointing Captain M.

I am respectfully requesting that you sponsor this individual for the purpose of his presentation to the Board regarding the above subject. Council 51 will guarantee the expenses incurred by the work this gentleman does regarding telephone, travel and food allowances and postage. I will not include the resolition as it will be in your hands within a few days when the Councils minutes are distributed. I would appreciate your discussing this program with Captain Gitt, setting my dates and coordinating the program and keeping me informed as you go along. As an additional suggestion, Captain J. Richardson of Council 18 MIA has also worked hard on this project, it might be to your advantage to request his presence through Captain Railsback, Chairman Council 18 of MIA. Very respectfully yours, Bruce A. McDougal Chairman Council 51 cc Captain M. Gitt "SCHEDULE WITH SAFTY" 66
