talked this over with most of those involved, but here are some of our
preliminary plans. I will be going to Cincinnati for the Passover and
then to New York for the last part of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Denny Luker will be going to Seattle-Tacoma for the Passover and then
to Portland for the last half. Burk McNair will be going to Washington,
D.C. for the Passover and then to Charlotte and later Richmond for the
last part of the Feast. Gerald Waterhouse will be going to St. Louis
for the Passover and then to Nashville for the last half. And Sherwin
McMichael will be going to Minneapolis for Passover and then to Kansas
City for the last half of the Feast. Plans are being made for a few
others -- as expenses permit -- and we hope any of you will send in
requests if you have need of a special visitor at this time.
Also, preliminary planning is already under way to cover at least
seven cities with evangelistic campaigns this spring and summer! We will
be checking the exact cities and our campaign format with Mr. Herbert
Armstrong in a few days and will try to let you know by next week the
specific cities we have in mind -- as WPll as telling you about others
that will be added along the way. So this should really stimulate some
of the local areas, encourage the brethren, and produce growth in the
Church '.)f God!
In closing, I would like once again to say "thank you" to the vast
majority who have been solid and loyal in what is without a doubt the
worst crisis in the history of God's Work. It has not been easy for some
of you, I know, but Mr. Armstrong and all of us appreciate the fact that
so many of you have been able to see through the subtle web of lies, the
power plays, and the obvious rebellion against the government of God and
His Church that is confusing so many of our brethren (and even some of our
ministers) at this time. Hang in there, fellows! When Christ comes back
to this earth, I am sure one of the main things He is going to be interest­
ed in is the degree of loyalty to His government and His viable, active
Church and the willingness to humble oneself and wait on HIM to straighten
out any real or imagined sins or mistakes in the very Work of which Jesus
Christ is the active, Living Head.

HIGHLIGHTS OF EMPLOYEE MEETING, MARCH 21
"We are under no court order at all now," Mr. Stanley Rader told employees
of the Church and College Wednesday morning, as he updated everyone on
recent events in our constitutional battle with the state of California.
"Our case is in the appellate process so there is nothing to be concerned
about as far as being in contempt of court is concerned."
Mr. Rader assured everyone that "we have really, for all practical pur­
poses, won the major battles. The battle lines have been stabilized.
We're now in a position that we've wanted to be in for several months."
In Mr. Rader's opinion, now it is just a question of "mopping up." But
he hastened to add that this process may take two or three years.
