SUBJECT:
Your Dinner with Los
Angeles Delegation
I noticed on your schedule for today that you will be
having dinner with a delegation of Los Angeles city
officials. As you know, a number of California Con-
gressmen will also be attending, and I thought the
following background information may be useful to you.
Bob Farrell and Pat Russell are both Democrats and
strong allies of Mayor Bradley. Art Snyder, Joel
Wachs and Bob Wilkinson are Republicans. Wilkinson is
chairman of the L. A. City Council Finance Committee
and is an old friend and college roommate of Phil
Burton.
The California Congressional participants are: Phil
Burton, John McFall, Al Bell, and Yvonne Burke.
The L. A. City officials are also having lunch today
with the complete Los Angeles Congressional delegation.
As you may know, they met yesterday with Jack Veneman
and have a number of meetings scheduled with various
department and agency heads (e.g. Secretary Coleman).

APPOINTMENT OFFICE
Dear President Ford:
A select delegation of six city officials from the City of Los
Angeles, including Mayor Bradley, Councilman Robert Wilkinson,
Councilman Ernani Bernardi, Councilman Arthur Snyder, Council-
woman Pat Russell and Chief Legislative Analyst Kenneth Spiker
will visit Washington Feb. 17, 18 and 19. A luncheon meeting
is scheduled with the Los Angeles County Congressional delega-
tion at the Rayburn Building on Feb. 18 to urge their support
of the Administration's proposed Revenue Sharing Extension and
to explain the unemployment problem in Los Angeles and the con-
tinued need on at least a temporary basis for an extension of
CETA.
They specifically have requested a brief meeting with you.
As you may know, all of the elected officials in the City of
Los Angeles including members of the Council are important
political leaders in their own right. Each member of the
Council represents an individual district with a population
larger than the majority of America's medium size and large
cities. As a major city they also influence in one way or
another a metropolitan area representing 5% of the population
of the United States.
Mayor Bradley of course is well known nationwide. Councilman
Wilkinson and Councilman Bernardi represent districts from the
San Fernando Valley. Councilman Wilkinson is Chairman of the
Finance Committee. Councilman Bernardi is Chairman of the
State, County and Federal Affairs Committee. Councilman Snyder
represents an area on the East side with a large Spanish-speaking
constituency. Councilwoman Russell is a former president of the
Los Angeles League of Women Voters and is a member of the Board
of the National League of Cities. Some of the above as you
probably are aware are members of your Party.
FORD : LIBRARY
You also have on file a resolution of the ent re City Council
inviting you before the Council whenever you are in Los Angeles,
an invitation with media consequence.
We hope that your schedule will allow a brief meeting at the
White House with this group, or if you prefer, a representative
portion of the group, even if only for a handshake following a
=
brief meeting with staff.
If there are questions please have a representative reach me
at the Washington, D.C. number listed hereon.
Sincerely,
Danal Stem
