0n the some or next day I believe that it is important that we have some function here in Georgia where you announce your plans to our friends in Georgia. It is terribly important that you “share” your announcement with the Georgia people to avoid it being said that Jimmy Carter has gone national and has forgotten his state and people. Specific suggestions on this later. I think we do need to begin to think in terms of a Georgia organ- ization and make some decisions as to who will head it Up.
we have generally agreed in previous meetings that inlediately following your announcement you would depart on a whirlwind trip with the idea of hitting most of the major media markets in the country. He will not have a lot of time to do this without crowding the Holiday Season. Some of this type activity might have to be deferred until after the first of the year.
We should never forget that our early announcement is a tactical maneuver which will hopefully result in your receiving inordinate
amounts of coverage and publicity.
