PL/Ford EXECUTIVE M April 20, 1976 Dear Mr. Weiss: It is my understanding that Adrian Weise Productions has requested that I waive my rights for equal time under Section 315 of the Communications Act so that it may broadcast a number of Mr. Ronald Reagan's old films. This waiver would eliminate any claim for equal time that might arise from the showing of "Cattle Queen of Montana" and "Tennessee's Partner". Since the nature and context of these two films do not relate to or affect the political process, I am willing to grant such waiver of my rights to equal time provided under Section 315 of the Communications Act. Sincerely, GERALD RAFCHE X Mr. Adrian Weiss Adrian Weiss Productions 186 North Canon Drive Beverly Hills, California 90210 re: showing of Ronald Reagans old film. RECEIVED GERALD R. FORD LIBRARY APR 2 3 1976 CENTRAL FILES
