CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Yes , as far as this audio <br /> visual is concerned. <br /> MR. ODA: I don ' t see that there is. Not <br /> unless you' re going before a group just for that ethnic <br /> group. You don ' t promote an English program before a <br /> predominantly Filipino or Japanese speaking group. They <br /> are not voting on something. Iis merely a promotional <br /> mechanism and I don ' t think it ' s necessary to be in Filipino <br /> and Japanese. It would be nice but I don ' t see any legal <br /> problem with it. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE: Could I have some more <br /> input? Amy? <br /> MRS. IWAMOTO: Speaking about the language, <br /> according to Mr. Kikuchi , he mentioned that he will be using <br /> symbols in his graphics. Symbols are like a universal <br /> language. That it would be understood by people of different <br /> races who do not speak English® The illustrations that he <br /> showed on the charts were in symbols and I think this could <br /> be understood by anyone. <br /> MR. ODA: I might add, Mr. Chairman, I 'm not <br /> pushing any proposal or anything but I think I would like to <br /> have an attractive newspaper supplement and we need somebody <br /> to help us on the graphic aspect of it. <br /> CHAIRMAN SCHUTTE : Have you talked with <br /> Yasuki ,' as to how far they' re going to go to set this up? <br /> Or is he letting the paper set it up, or are you supposed to <br /> set it up? <br /> MR. ODA: I think it ' s too much for me to <br /> handle something like that because it ' s beyond my expertise, <br /> to begin with and the other, I have a question of time, you <br /> know. Those two big concerns and I think if we are going to <br /> just submit words to the people in the newspaper, is one <br /> thing. We 're not submitting news, you know, we ' re submitting <br /> something that we want them to read so it has to be in a fairly <br /> attractive climate, in a method, so I really do feel that we <br /> need some help in a graphic excerpt putting it in a pleasant <br /> and attractive supplement to the people. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. It would seem, <br /> you know, we ' re faced with time and budget restrictions, <br /> perhaps we could utilize Mr. Kikuchi strictly as a! äd in, the <br /> supplement instead of going into the audio -visual aid. Perhaps <br /> that would be more palatable to the commission. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr, Chairman. I think it ' s <br /> important also when considering the time frame, I think it ' s <br /> important that this body approve all the proofs before they <br /> go out. Not that anybody would be slanted in the design of <br /> anything but to make sure that we have a completely objective <br /> PR piece that clearly states what changes are being proposed. <br /> That ' s always the danger of something being lost in translation <br /> is also there. <br /> -24- <br />
