Dear Carl:

From the very first call we made to you we knew we were in good hands. When CBS said they wanted to interview me, but would not say why or for who, we thought you would be the best one to get some answers for us. You immediately found out it was "60 Minutes."

In the ensuing weeks your guidance and counsel were invaluable, from how and what we should say, to the actual selection of who should go on camera. Your training of one of our Directors was most thorough. Its effectiveness is substantiated by the fact that "60 Minutes" interviewed our Director for over three (3) hours, and only used a two minute segment from the entire interview. He followed all of your guidelines of speaking in the positive and giving them no ammunition.

They had virtually nothing to use against him. The strategy sessions conducted at the attorney's office, directed by you, were most beneficial to the outcome of "60 Minutes" approach. Our letters to their president, executive producer, etc. had caused them serious concern as to the validity of some of their facts. It greatly weakened their story.

Your counsel throughout the entire process was all extremely beneficial and right on target. That kind of guidance and counsel could only come from someone who has worked in their system. My sincere thanks.

Sincerely,

Harry S. Patten
President
