Dear Bob:
Attached is a report from someone we got
to cover the Brown Kick-off Breakfast in San Francisco
yesterday. For your personal information, that person
was Nancy Hamilton, the National Committeewoman of the
Young Republicans, who was invited by someone in her
firm to attend.
Re your note about Gemma O'Brien: I had wanted
to hire Gemma, but before our budget was cleared, she
went to work for our San Francisco Countty Committe as
a substitute for one of their regular staff who had to
be hospitalized for a time. She is to be with the County
Committee until after the Primary. In many ways, it is
very good to have her in that spot.
I'd already discussed this with Alan and we
definitely are providing for hiring her in our budget
for the General Election and want her very much to be
with us. Per your instructions I have now talked with
Gemma and told her that we will want her after the Primary.
Sincerely,
Emily Emily G. Pike
