We need the help of all concerned to make certain we have both, for only the thorough execution of this big job in the end will win the day for Atlanta and for the Braves. 1.

We need to get national television, including network news shows. The "Today" Show should broadcast from Atlanta opening day, on the day after, or both.

PERSON-TO-PERSON VISITS We ask the president of the Chamber and the head of "Forward Atlanta" to take on the task of coordinating with the business and cultural elite of Atlanta an unprecedented "Red Carpet" invitation to their · peers nationally, to come to Atlanta for the Opening Day festiv ities.

Essentially, we seek to have a significant numbe r of the nation's deci sion makers in Atlanta, not just for the ball game, but primarily to sample Atlanta's atmosphere in springtime and its spirit in general. To do this properly , we need help from Lockheed to fly in certain of the guests. Others of course will have their own corporate aircraft or will fly commercially.

How appropriate it would be if it is the President who throws out the first ball. We know thought is being given to all of this. On other levels, this occasion is an opportunity for all the Governors of the South, and the mayors of the largest cities of the South, to come to Atlanta officially . Bell & Stanton suggests it work with the Mayor, and with the Govern or, on all aspects of this objective.

To sell a maximum number of season tickets. To obtain maximum interest in the Atlanta Braves: -- locally, statewide, regionally through the entire market area, and nationally, It is this year's biggest baseball story. Gaining momentum from all that is done, this operation is a prime generator of maximum favorable attention for Atlanta.

We have a brief period of time in which to build a strong local sense of this joint destiny. We have a brief period of time to help the anbice Atlanta metropolitan area re-capture and put on a continuing basis, the sense of active pride in the Braves they had when the team signed to come here, and which was so manifest as the Stadium itself was completed and opened. All of that was preparation. It was passive, as far as the entire populace was concerned. a asked them to beam with pride, and they did. Now we ask them to move into effective action: to talk up the Braves, to support the Braves, to realize in so doing that all of this effort demonstrates to the nation at large that Atlanta is the city of spirit and "can-do" in the entire United States. _ (more) * xERO XERO| /XERO pee ac OPY COPY | | copy \Sory Atlanta Braves Opening OM-3 As iueanary good thing that has transformed this town, the lead has to come from the business community.

However, big thoughts are a futile exercise in mental gymnastics unless supported with practical follow-through.. We need the help of all concerned to make certain we have both, for only the thorough execution of this big job in the end will win the day for Atlanta and for the Braves. l. It is urgent that we get Atlanta into action on season ticket sales. This will take personal contact from the highest levels of the Atlanta business community, directed toward the highest levels of the Atlanta business community, plus efforts at that same level aimed at business leaders in other market cities. 2. We need to start the ball rolling so that every ad carried in the early part of Opening Week refers to the Braves; every downtown office building takes on the challenge of creating banners; every local theatre enters the act; every school and college hereabouts becomes involved, as does every taxidriver, every bus driver, every member of the police force.

Plans call for them to see a game, be given personalized tours of the city, and be guests at a superb dinner hosted by Atlanta Newspapers, Incorporated and Jack Tarver. We have already begun working with the national magazines; Look Magazine will be here on assignment right after Washington's Birthday as a first step. We need to get national television, including network news shows. The "Today" Show should broadcast from Atlanta opening des: on the day after, or both. We need more press association series on Atlanta and its team; the hassle with Milwaukee has made this the biggest sports yarn in years. 4. We need to have the cream of Atlanta's business community take on the task of personally inviting the very top leaders of the nation to be their house guests over Open- ing Day. Every branch of a national firm should have its national president here. This is far more than a baseball game. It is Atlanta's day in the court of public opinion when everything that makes this town great is on display.

We need help in pulling our loftiest national political leaders here, and that need goes right to the top. We need all southern governors and many mayors here. 6. We need to get glittering celebrities here, and we shall call on Bill Bartholomay personally to guide and help us on that. We will call on Georgia advertisers who use personalities in their campaigns to have those celebrities here. And of course baseball's officialdom is a vital part of the program. 7. We need to mount a Mayor's Dinner on the eve of the Big Game which will show the greatest out- pouring of Atlanta's elite--and the nation's well-known figures--that Atlanta has seen since the 1939 premiere of "Gone With The Wind". 8. We need a parade Opening Day afternoon which will be unforgettable in Atlanta's annals. We see this as featuring every high school and college band in the area, each band sponsored by an Atlanta- area business firm; Braves and Pirates stars; the Mayor; The Governor; celebrities.

Who ever heard of such generosity and spirit on the part of business leaders? It takes Atlanta to put this over. 9. We need to coordinate with Pittsburgh leaders to get a representative Pittsburgh group here. We need to get plans started as well for the Atlanta leadership to be in New York Friday, April 15, when the Braves open the Mets' home season, and in St. Louis, Thursday, May 12, when the Braves open the new St. Louis stadium. This is the essence of the bold but simple program which we ask Atlanta to support. As we write today, we cannot estimate costs precisely. If all who come to the Mayor's Dinner pay substantially more than the $7.50 cost per head of the affair, we can obtain part of the needed funds at that time. Atlanta will spend what is needed, regardless of where the funds come from, we are confident of that.

We must see to the action of each committee. Overall supervision will be the responsibility of the firm's president, Alan Bell, from New York, and of Senior Vice-President George Goodwin from the Atlanta office. The specific Bell & Stanton executive under them will be David Pearson of Atlanta. Already the Chamber has offered to lend the firm extra manpower as evidence of strong support. Extra people as needed will be employed on a temporary basis if the pace builds up too swiftly. In any event, additional staff from the New York Bell & Stanton office, headed by Executive Vice-President Edward Stanton and by the New York account executive for "Forward Atlanta," Margaret Larson, will be closely involved at all times.

It is only now, after Fulton Superior Court Judge McKenzie has spoken, that it is possible for anyone to be able to go all-out on this. Season tickets should be sold to every business organization in this area, for use of its employees and customers. This sales need comes at a time when the Braves organization must turn its attention more and more to spring training. The community can -- and we suggest, must -- help put across this sales effort. 1.

These officers should contact all corporate customers, urging those customers to buy season tickets to be used by their executives, by their employees, and by their customers. The contact officers should take specific ticket orders -- with no money changing hands.

Further, the Chamber should contact the Restaurant Association, the Motel Association and individual major hotels to arrange for lobby displays, special menus keyed to Opening Day, special room notices to be in every guest room each day of the Opening Week.
