“One of the things we have decided to do is hold a meeting each year in November in California alternating between Northern and Southern California. Our first California meeting in Northern California was hosted by a former member, Congressman Peter Smith, who is the founding President of California State University at Monterey Bay. We used this opportunity to teach in at colleges and high schools. We went to something like 12 or 13 high schools all over and spent three or four hours there plus, of course, at the university. This year we are going to go to Southern California, the Palm Springs area, beginning in November 15, Shirley Pettis has agreed to have us at the house; Railsback is going to teach us golf. The college of the desert is going to be our host school so it should be a fun time to plan ahead. One of the things we have tried to do is give Members the ability to travel overseas. We have had 16 study tours in the past throughout the world. Bill Peterson from Florida is the ambassador to Vietnam. Jay Rhodes, who is very close to him in the Congress, has talked with him and we are going over there this October to Vietnam.”
