Los Angelos * Hay 5» 1953 80-11 Mr. William Reinhardts / (cc - HMrr.* TL.o mR .C aMmpabaegl^l) In connection with proposed meeting in Las Vegas, Tuesday, May 12th, with'representatives of the Las Vegas Valley Water District, I discussed the matter with Mr. Campbell, and we agreed that the meeting would be held commencing A.M., Tuesday, May 12th, in the large office in the Union Pacific Station at Las Vegas. Mr, Campbell will notify Messrs. Hamilton and Montgomery, and I am notifying Mr. Maag with a copy of this letter. You may desire to give consid­eration to having Mr. Adamson present, and if you do so desire, I presume you will notify him of the time and place of the meeting. Mr. Renwiek and I will be present. Mr. Campbell advises me that Messrs. Hamilton and Montgomery are arriving the day before to go over some matters, and I suggest that, if possible, after discussing the situation with them, that Mr. Campbell have an agenda prepared, listing tne matters to be discussed, which I think will facilitate the proceed­ings. Mr. Campbell asked me what my reaction was to the presence of the Press at the meeting, and I told him I was very much opposed to having any repor­ters present, and feel that you would be likewise opposed. He stated that since the District was a public body, if the reporters were excluded the Union Pacific would have to take the blame for such exclu­sion, and I told him that was alright with me. E. 1.
