MR. TRULSON: Mr. Chairman. Mr. Santos, I <br /> have a question for you. Not on what you spoke about and if <br /> you don ' t want to answer it , I ' ll understand. But, we've <br /> heard this now for months and that is you say this is a very <br /> important decision as far as the very important portion. <br /> Why is it such an important portion of the charter and that <br /> is how the councilmen are elected ? Now, if you have an <br /> answer, fine. If you don ' t, I ' ll understand. <br /> MR. SANTOS : I think , Mr. Trulson , that if <br /> you went out on the street today and asked any voter which of <br /> -thepprOsals being brought to the voters was of the greatest <br /> interest and the greatest importance, you 'd probably get 99 <br /> out of 100 to pick that one as the most important. I feel that, <br /> like a previous speaker mentioned earlier, the ballot is the <br /> only way that many voters can reach a politician, an elected <br /> official. It is important to every voter, therefore, as to <br /> how he is permitted to use his ballot. <br /> MR. TRULSON: Thank you, Mr. Santos. <br /> RECESS: At 4: 52 p.m. the Chair called for a short recess. <br /> RECONVENE : At 5 : 15 p.m. the meeting was reconvened. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: We will go into the business <br /> of the day, again. This is will be on the discussion on the <br /> educational program. We would like to have Mr. Kikuchi on this. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Mr. Chairman. May I introduce <br /> him? <br /> • <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Yes , please do. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Thank you. Our publicity sub- <br /> committee, which is composed of Bud Trulson, Amy Iwamoto and <br /> myself did have an informal meeting regarding what is the thrust <br /> of where we were going to go and at this particular meeting we <br /> decided that we would aim all of our efforts, at the present <br /> time, on that newspaper supplement, the tabloid. I think, for <br /> the record, I should mention that Walt Southward, of another <br /> public relations firm, did approach us. I do have a letter from <br /> him expressing interest in doing some work for the charter. <br /> At the time of our meeting we decided that since we had already <br /> had Mr. Kikuchi working on the newspaper supplement that we <br /> would continue with him. <br /> CHAIRMAN SAKATA: Excuse me, but on the Mr. <br /> Southward one, did you talk to him or did you give him an <br /> answer? <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : He called me and I have a <br /> presentation .' .I .didn ' t- call him and tell him what our sub- <br /> committee has decided. <br /> -24- <br />
