PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, AUGUST 2, 1985
PAGE 5
Since this survey was taken, we have increased our station count from 256 to
300 in the U.S., which will, I estimate, put us in #1 position in this
category too the next time the survey is issued.
This is the pleasing culmination of four years of work, since we began in
July 1981.
--David Hulme, Media Purchasing
YES UPDATE

Thank you once again for your loyal support and participation in the Youth
Educational Services program.
