MEMORANDUM FOR:
PETER DAILEY
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Changes in Advertising
Purmmant to our conversation, the changes in the scripts
of the TV spots should be as follows:
1) On the Youth spot "we should tone it down because
no thinking person would go along with this statement as
it stands." Baskwally, he's worried about the last phrase:
"no Americal fighting anywhere in the world
in this century and succeeding centuries."
2) China --- The audio should read, "China is one
of the most populous countries in the world". The word
powerful should not be used,
3) Other comments on the Domestic spots included the
following:
(a) The 60-seconds are OK, except for the SST.
(b) There is some concern about spending a full
five minutes on the Environment. Similarly, concern was
expressed regarding spending five minutes on Older Americans.
We realize that certain liberties were taken with the truth.
I will check regarding the two points, i.e. hydrocarbon and
Medidare.
