The only other possibility of securing operating funds is to abandon
TRUMAN NARA
the idea of seeking further contributions from the National Committee to
publish an advertisement, and seek further contributions from this source
for regular Committee activities. Mr. Oram believes the total amount we
can secure will be larger for the advertisement than for general expenses.
2. If it is assumed that no funds will be sought beyond those now
contemplated by the present fund raising program, then it will be neces-
sary to curtail the Committee's activities.
One alternative is to immediately terminate the position of the
staff assistant working with national organizations and the entire field
staff, not to undertake the recording of speeches by bi-partisan Con-
gressional teams, not to furnish further mats to country newspapers, and
to limit our publication program to the weekly Fact Sheet and small
numbers of reprints of existing material. By this means, approximately
$10,000 can be saved between now and the sixth of March and the operations
for the remainder of March would be on a monthly budget of approximately
$25,000.
The net result of such reduction in Committee activities would not
be very striking in terms of dollar savings in February and would pre-
vent the Committee from continuing to exert its full efforts after the
first of March.
3. In the absence of additional funds, the Executive Director be-
lieves that instead of cutting out a few specific and important items
and continuing the present organization at a reduced level, that it
would be better to drastically alter the nature of the staff and acti-
vities as quickly as possible. The recommendation is that we recog-
nize the predominantly important Congressi onal aspects of our work and
