DISPLAYS
8. AS YOU WILL HAVE GATHERED FROM 5 AND 6 ABOVE, WE
LIKEWISE HAVE NO FUNDS TO MEET COSTS OF DISPLAYS. TRADE MANIFESTATIONS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST
WHATEVER
HAVE BEEN WITH FPB SUPPORT. BECAUSE OF THE TDC'S GENEROSITY WE SHALL NOT BE CHARGED FOR THE RENTAL OF THEIR DISPLAY FACILITIES BUT IT MUST BE MADE CLEAR TO THE INDUSTRY AND AGENTS THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER MISCELLANEOUS COSTS ARISE. EVEN IF
INDUSTRY ACCEPTS ALL THE CHARGES WE SHALL NEED AUTHORITYTO BILL THE DOT WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECOVERY ACTION.
WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL SHORTLY BE ABLE TO LET US HAVE DETAILS
OF INDUSTRY'S SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED DISPLAY. AS THE FIRST
DAY'S PROCEEDINGS ARE NOT DUE TO BEGIN UNTIL 1860 HOURS AND THE
MANDARIN IS WITHIN 50 YARDS OF THE TDC'S OFFICES, MR REGAN WILL HAVE AMPLE CHANCE, TO SEE THE DISPLAY BEFORE IT OPENS. I HOPE YOU WILL BEAR IN MIND WHEN DISCUSSING THE FORM OF THE DISPLAY WITH THE FABRIC INDUSTRY THAT IT IS IN SUPPORT OF THE MISSION,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
