SUBJECT: Advertising Council Campaign

The Advertising Council has prepared its most massive
public service advertising campaign on "Crisis in Our
Cities." Through radio, television, and newspaper ads,
the Council seeks to “inspire, encourage and move
Americans to become more involved in the urban, racial
crisis facing our nation."

Enclosed is the Council's radio campaign packet.
Similar ad spots have been sent to television stations,
newspapers and magazines, outdoor advertising agencies,
and transit authorities. In total, 33,000 local media
outlets have been contacted.

You will note that the packet includes a letter from
John Gardner, Chairman of the Urban Coalition, urging
support of the campaign. Any additional encouragement
you might give to the effort locally will be welcome.
You may wish to contact the media in your community
and urge them to use these materials if they are not
now doing so.

For further information, please contact Mr. Brian Duff,
the Urban Coalition's Vice President for Communications.
