PASTOR GEN�RAL'S REPORT, November 28, 1979
Page 8
As a part of absorbing the overall administrative costs we will be
soliciting your assistance in disposing of your used vehicle in the local
area. This will help greatly in reducing the costs in operating a fleet
program. The success of this method of disposal, however, depends largely
on maintaining the fleet automobiles in good mechanical condition and
preserving the outward appearance.
Currently, we are still utilizing the services of Gelco for the mainte
nance aspects of the fleet program as in the past. For all other fleet
requi�ements please contact Mark Mickelson in Pasadena on the inbound
WATS lines.
We recently submitted a postcard self-mailer to you. Please return the
postcard to Pasadena as soon as possible with your current mileage. Also
indicate the vehicle condition in a brief statement.
We will be contacting some of you in the near future to make your replace
ment vehicle selection. Please bear with us during this interim period.
We desperately need the assistance of all of you to continue a successful
fleet program for the conduct of this great Work! Let us know of any
suggestions or recommendations you may have.
--Ellis LaRavia
MEDIA UPDATE
We have received budget approval to transfer Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's
October 13 (Last Great Day) Tucson address to film. We will be distrib
uting film copies as specified in the November 7 Pastor General's Report.
In addition, we will be sending 3/4-inch cassette copies to those areas
which indicated that proper equipment would be available.
We are presently making preparations to send a four-man crew to accompany
Mr. Armstrong on his trip to China. They will leave November 27 and will
be covering, on film, Mr. Armstrong's activities in Peking during his
stay. This will be the second film trip in which we will complete a
total documentation of Mr. Armstrong's activities and the impact the
Work is having in China to this present time. The previous trip netted
approximately 30,000 feet of very high quality film, which included
coverage of Mr. Rader's meetings and discussions with top officials, as
well as a general pictorial representation of the City of Peking, and
China in general. The basic substance of the film to be obtained on Mr.
Armstrong's trip will give us material for a well-rounded production on
the China trip.

PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
Mr. Herbert
w.
Armstrong's new semiannual letter has now been printed and
mailed to our total list here in the United States, some of whom have
already replied. The letter is also being mailed separately from our
overseas offices.
Traditionally we have always offered some special piece of literature
as part of the semiannual letter. This year Mr. Armstrong is offering
his new book TOMORROW...What It Will Be Like.
This is the first time
