# The Evening and Sunday Bulletin30TH AND MARKET STREETS PHILADELPHIA. PA. 19101Serving the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey AreaNovember 18, 1976Dear Dick:I've been following the progress of the House Select Committee on Assassinations and its chief counsel as well as newspaper and wire service stories permit.I gather, at least from a Newhouse News Service report, that the committee unanimously has agreed to support your request for a staff of 170 but that the actual funding will not follow until after January 1.If that's the case, and you can use me now, I'd like to come to Washington and get involved as early as possible. I think I can be more effective in the role of press liaison officer if I arrive on the scene before the great bulk of the staff.I have received a formal letter from Bulletin management confirming an extended leave of absence. But this does not preclude a short-term leave. Even if Congress ultimately refuses to fund the investigations fully and they are cut short, I feel I could return to the Bulletin without loss of face or funds. The experience of working for even a few weeks or months with the committee would be worth the effort.Also, even though I would move to Washington immediately, Shirley and Sharon would remain in Philadelphia to June 30.I , therefore, would not get involved with a long-term lease until the summer. So, if the investigations are terminated early, there would be little financial hardship on my part.NEARLY EVERYBODY READS THE BULLETIN

# The Evening and Sunday Bulletin30TH AND MARKET STREETS PHILADELPHIA, PA. 19101*Serving the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey Area*Oct. 28, 1976Dear Dick:Here is my resume.I'm also happy to tell you that The Bulletin has granted me an extended leave of absence. In fact, management, I am told, was "thrilled" with the idea.The leave was granted in record time. This was a surprise. I thought it would take weeks of negotiation. That's why i went ahead and requested it now instead of waiting.Of course, I explained in writing to The Bulletin that if for some reason the House does not provide sufficient funds for the dual investigation, the deal is off.Now that The Bulletin has been apprised of the situation, I feel very little notice is required. This means I could start as your press secretary soon after things are worked out with the House committee.I hope that is soon. I am anxious to get involved as early as possible.Meanwhile, I'm reading extensively in the Kennedy-King literature. I'm also meeting with an old friend, the press officer for the Federal Energy Administration here, to get some ideas about dealing with the media from the other side of the fence.I will be in Washington, Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 8 and 9,*NEARLY EVERYBODY READS THE BULLETIN*New Jersey: (609) 665-9500
