Howard V.

This organization is requesting $15,000 from the City for its Second National Forum to be held on November 30 and December 1, 1984, at the Holiday Inn at Brickell Point to discuss party policies with local and national policy makers. Metropolitan Dade County has contributed $14,000 for this event. According to Mr. Pajares,the Convention Bureau handles about 300 groups yearly, most of which request funding or sponsorship. Funding the Republican National Convention could establish a precedent for funding of other conventions. They will provide registration assistance, housing and other services generally provided to other organizations. Please indicate below whether or not you support their recommendation to deny funding. Attached for your information is the copy of the special funding request application. f Request for funds denied: Howard V.

The Convention Bureau handles directly or indirectly about 300 groups yearly, and nearly all of them request some kind of funding or sponsorship from us. We therefore, cannot establish the precedent of recommending funding for an rc 2up, unless, as stated above, it is a tourism impact group, (meeting planners, travel agents, etc.). Of course, we will provide registration assistance, housing, and other services provided by the Bureau to any group booked in Miami. Thank you.
