I agree.HIWAY 91 - LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - TELEPHONE 7100 April 26, 1955 TO OUR SANDS RESERVATIONS: I regret very much to have to disappoint you in your reservations this week at the Sands - - but I urge you to read this letter carefully so that as a citizen of this country you might have a better understanding of why the Sands cannot accommodate you at this time. This area is now engaged in very serious Atomic Explosion Tests - - with more than 2000 Government people, Press, State Governors, and Official Observers here from all parts of the country to witness the largest Atomic Test ever seen in America. This test was postponed today, with the result,that these people who have to do this serious job cannot leave the Sands and Las Vegas until their mission is fulfilled* As part of the National Defense effort I feel it is my responsibility and duty to help the Government and the Press and the States to fulfill their mission here - - and because we realize the importance of this mission so strongly, I must ask you to bear with the Sands when you do not find your accommodations available. We will do everything possible to help you but please try to understand that our first responsibility at this time is to the National Defense effort. a place in the son JAKE FREEDMAN LOS ANGELES OFFICE: 214 N.
