Gentlemen, You have each asked that the entire inventories of NARALO brouchures in French and Spanish be committed exclusively to your hands. I wish to observe that while French is spoken primarily in Quebec in the North American Region, and Spanish is spoken primarily in Puerto Rico in the North American Region, that it is possible that there are needs for NARALO brochures, in French, and in Spanish, which may be as well served by others. I don't doubt that there are too few brochures to go around, but if all non-English brouchures are allocated to the ALSs in Quebec and Puerto Rico, that exhausts that resource and limits outreach to the Francophone and Hispanophone populations of the region except those in the Province of Quebec and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Equitably, and in cooperation, Eric

My intent is to do a mailing, starting with the Mixtec/Indigena Community Organization Project in Ventura County, and a hand-delivery to the Migrant Education Office in Salinas, and following through on their leads to more contacts. For this, something I can put in an envelop, or hand deliver, that can be put on a bulletin board in a common area, like a library or meeting hall, would be useful. Eric

Garth, It is my experience writing three brouchures for CORE that brochure writing is the hardest, slowest, most contentious writing I've experienced in my professional life. Transformation from three mono-lingual three-fold to a single tri-lingual three-up means a complete re-write and redesign. Assumptions about white space and images have to be revisited, and text has to be re-written. Eric
