FROM   Larry Levinson

At the President's suggestion, Jack Valenti has agreed to hold a luncheon in Los Angeles next Monday, June 17th, at noon (PDT), at which a number of famous movie actors -- particularly those who play cowboys -- will speak out in favor of the President's gun control legislation.

For this luncheon, we need two pithy, one-page statements which will be read by two of the "cowboys" (probably Charlton Heston and John Wayne), supporting the President's Gun Control Bill.

May I suggest that Hardesty do one and Harry Middleton do the other, with you to supply some polish.

Valenti would like to see these drafts by tomorrow afternoon.

I will be glad to help in any way I can.

REFERENCE STATEMENTS:

1. President's charge to Commission on Violence
2. Pres. letter to Speaker
3. Statement yesterday on Gun Control legislation
