The networks would probably (truculently) go along with one floor camera but it is absolutely in our best interest to have two (or three if they would put them on the floor)

The Democratic Convention reaffirmed our longstandshying position that the number of cameras on the floor bears no relationship to the number of interviews done by the floor reporters They simply do the work from high camera baskets wnich made the young amply coiffed lean Democratic delegates look poorly 1 believe it a safe generalization to say that our delegates have less hair fatter necks and rounder tummies Mr Herman is adamant on maintainin1 one camera on the floor

3 We are in tough negotiations over the amount of money to be given the Pool for lighting The Democrats (1 believe) came up with a little more than $5000 We have much greater lighting requirements due to our multi-screen operation - the networks know it and want more money 1 requested $10000 and hoped we could do it for that Mr Herman has authorized $5000 1 would like to pay as little as possible and will proceed to negotiate as hard as 1 can The problem is that we are trying to seduce not being seduced I fear Mr Herman is confused about who is the hooker and who is the hookee
