TAIWAN TASK FORCE - ACU is presently putting together a Task Force on Taiwan with the specific purpose of encouraging Reagan to sell fighter planes to the Taiwan government.

Corey Freedom, I want to thank you for your recent participation in the 1983 Cedar Falls, Iowa Conservative Political Action Conference. Ronald B. Dear Houston, Texas Donald J. Devine By all accounts, CPAC '83 was one of the most successful national Wheaton, Maryland John T. Dolan gatherings of conservative leaders and grass root activists ever held. Arlington, Virginia Your presence was a crucial factor in generating both record attendance M. Stanton Evans Washington, D.C. and extensive media coverage. In no small measure, therefore, our Arthur J. Finkelstein Mt. Kisco, New York success was a tribute to your participation. Louis J. Guerra Maple Glen, Pennsylvania The poll taken of CPAC registrants showed conclusively the depth of Richard Harvey Tyler, Texas support which the Reagan Administration enjoys among the nation's Senator Orrin Hatch Salt Lake City, Utah conservatives. At the same time, I think it is fair to say that it Senator Jesse Helms also demonstrates how much the movement has influenced the political Monroe, North Carolina Daniel Joy and legislative agenda of our nation.
