INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT (as of January 13, 1964)

1. THE CONTINENTAL INSURANCE COMPANIES - David Gray, Vice President, The Continental Insurance Companies, requests that the Fair holds the property directly to the rear of their site up to the Parker Pen exhibit line. They plan an addition to their building to house a hospitality center and offices ana are working with Mr. William Douglas and their architect. As soon as plans are finalized they will sign a lease for whatever additional square feet they require.

2. OPPORTUNITIES U. S. A. - Despite frantic efforts by this group to change their plans, it is clear that it is simply too late to consider a project of this character, particularly in the light of the background of negotiations. Howard Cooper, President of Opportunities U.S. A, has thought to reduce an obvious restaurant concession to an exhibit reflecting the nature of franchise operations, together with the support of a Small Business Administration exhibit. However, no new plans have been filed and the unreliability of previous representation and the pressure of time make it plain that there is no purpose in pursuing this project further.

3. MULTIPLES

The World of Food lease which was terminated as of December 6, 1963 was subsequently reinstated with a guarantee by Mr. Lionel Levy that all steel now being erected would be removed in the event that this project failed. Mr. Levy has been soliciting his sublessees to obtain an accelerated payment schedule in order to finance his construction. Several of his subcontractors have subordinated their claims. Some steel has been erected but this situation remains critical. Mr. Levy has until the close of business on January 15, 1964 to provide the Fair with the necessary assurances that the building will be completed on time.

INDUSTRIAL SECTION

PROGRESS REPORT (as of January 13, 1964)

4. SPECIAL PROJECT

Pan American Highway Gardens - Eastman Kodak has agreed to install and maintain at its own expense 10 to 12 photomurals of the Pan American Highway. Brass Rail is using a Pan American decor for its restaurant on the site.

In conversation with Dr. Bertram D. Tallamy we had determined that additional material is needed other than the actual Central American planting which will be supplied by the Fair. We, therefore, plan to visit with Dr. Tallamy, the heads of the Central American countries, as well as the major industrial lists in this area. Dr. Tallamy has the enthusiastic approval of the office of Mr. Teodoro. Moscoso, U.S. Coordinator of Alliance for Progress, and the Bureau of Public Roads.

One project to be undertaken is possible construction of a small building, hopefully to be designed by Buckminster Fuller, to have a Pre-Columbian Gold Exhibit. Financing based upon an admission charge would be arranged with Bankers Trust Company, The Chase Manhattan Bank or the Bank of America, all of whom have interests in the area.

The erection of steel for this building is approximately tl,•o-thirds compl ... •tcd. Completion of the steel erection is scheduled for January 22, There has been some rene1~ed activity in the area of h•ase negotiations but this time it is impossible to predict that this building will be a success.

Work on this structure is under completion and Conunissioner Brad Clark of the City of New York is holding a series of meetings with the contractors in an attempt to establish a firm completiou date, lve are investigating the possibility of oplming the lower exhibit level in the event that the total building is not completed by April 22, 1964. At the next meeting of the Executive Committee, I will be able to report more specifically on the schedule.

In conjunction with Mr. Constable and General Potter, we have been working with the National Maritime Union on an arrangl'llll'llt whereby the Union would absorb all thu eostH of landscaping and maintenance of a 64 ~ 602 sq. ft. area that has been designated as u park-like area and also as a cr01vd gathering point for the Operations Department. In return, the Union would have the right to erect two signs indicating their sponsorship of the area as well as a small booth at which information about the National Haritimt• Union lvould be available.

We are attempting to arrange the landticape design so that it would fit in with Gl.lmore Clark 1 s post-Fair plans and thus save additional funds that would otherwise he allocated to this large plot of ground.

&UDJECT' Second Stage Electrical Work- Contract Q.-:_99-362

Since the rate of progress by Johnson Electrical Corp. under City contract for Second Staqe Electrical Work is insufficient to permit completion by April 22, 1964, we are faced with a situation which requires extraordinary action, particularly in view of the winter weather which will further impede progress. The City cannot pay additional amounts to maintain progress at a rate ensuring on-time completion.

In accordance with your instructions, an agreement has been worked out with Johnson whereby the Fair Corporation will:- · ·

~ Excavate and backfill through its own contractor for straightening and repairing lamp bases previously installed, and for installing remaining boxes, bases, and conduit. The Fair Corporation will receive contract amounts ;f paid by City for tllis wo:vk, and Johnson will be paid overhead and and profit as for a subcontractor. The Fair Corporation will also absorb 501; of Johnson 1 s payroll costs for these remaining items or work during the balance of the winter weather;

h Thaw out and provide tents and heating for electrical conduit boxes in which Johnson must make splices and absorb 25% of Johnson's payroll costs for actual splicing;

£.:._ Reimburse Johnson for direct labor, material, and equipment costs (plus 2~) incurred for melting ice in conduits through which cable must be pulled; reimburse Johnson 25% of payroll costs for cable pulling; and

fb_ Perform paving cuts required for installation of electrical conduits.

Johnson will carry on all other work, which totals half the value of what remains to be accomplished, without extra reimbursement.

The cost under the above agreement is estimated to be between $200, 000 and $250, 000. Of this amount approximately one-half will be work accomplished by our contractor and one-half participation in the cost of Johnson.

Recommend approval of the foregoing.

suBJECT: Design and World's Fair Construction

Your approval is requested of the following report for presentation to the Executive Committee.

Six projects were placed under contract during the month including the U.S. Space Park and the lighting of open areas. Although the Space Park is under contract, design is not yet complete pencting receipt of additional information from U.S. agencies. However, pile driving will start approximately 20 January. The only contract of magnitude remaining to be let is that for lighting and flagpoles for the overpass, which is expected to be awarded by the Park Department this month.

On account of the virtual. stoppage of work under two Park Department contracts, namely for low voltage electric installation and for paving, the World's Fair Corporation has made expedient arrangements with contractors to assure continuation of work. Under the electric contract, the excavation and backfilling and the thawing of boxes, which were causing particular difficulty under winter conditions, were taken over as a responsibility of the Fair Corporation through a World's Fair contract. Certain extra costs due to winter operations are also being paid. Under these arrangements, work has been resumed on a satisfactory basis, which should insure the completion of this contract prior to the opening of the Fair. Certain additional costs are also being undertaken under the paving contract and this work also has been resumed within the last few days. As of December 31st, in the main area 94% of the curbs were in place and 75% of the area had been paved.

Broadway Maintenance has now installed about half of the street lighting standards. This work is progressing about as fast as bases are made available under the electric contract. Luminaires have been placed on approximately 500 of these poles.

The remainder of the display tulips were placed early in December; the installation of sod has been suspended until Spring. Tree planting is 90% complete.

Good progress continues to be made on the World's Fair Pavilion. The framework of the geodesic dome and the first plastic envelope are complete, and the second envelope is in the process of installation. The stage and dressingroom facilities are nearing completion.

Excellent progress was also made on the construction of the Singer Arena. The asphaltic concrete floor has been placed and the building is now being enclosed. The remainder of the precast concrete risers and treads should be completed by the end of this month. The only work which is slow on the Arena is construction of the exhibitors facilities by Singer and this is being pushed.

As of December 31st, there had been received for the review of plans $129,132. 53 in fees, and there were $24, 456. 00 billings outstanding. On the same date, there had been received $2, 209, 878, 48 i~ electrical connection charges and $339, 650. 00 in water connection charges.

FROM ARTHUR S. HODGKISS

Attached is the latest report on progress of arterial highway construction in the vicinity of the World's Fair.

All highways are completely opened to traffic except Grand Central Parkway from Kew Gardens to 172nd Street. The westbound roadway is scheduled to be opened on January 16th and the eastbound by January 30, 1964.

Merritt-Mt. Vernon have the largest remaining amount of work to do. All of their roadways are completed and the work consists pri· marily of cleanup, grading, fencing and center mall barriers, This will require a substantial amount of winter work if they are to be entirely completed before the opening of the Fair.

The 69th Road Bridge and incidental work can be completed in time for the Fair if the State will continue to require the contractor to work on the bridge during the winter months,

I have talked to Austin Sarr about both of these items and he w'Jll give his full cooperation,

Copies of this report have been sent to those shown on the attached list •.

FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL

Re: Progress on Arterial Highway Construction in the I

Vicinity of the World's Fair

All major roadways are open to traffic except the Grand Central Parkway between Kew Gardens and 172nd Street (Contracts Nos •. 3 and 5-Tully & DiNapoli). The State has scheduled the opening of the westbound roadway for January 16th and the eastbound roadway for January 30, 1964.

Attached is a chart showing the dollar amount of worlt remS!J.n!ng to be completed on each contract. ·This work should be completed prior to the opening of the Fair. The major items of work are concrete paving, asphalt paving and resurfacing, drainage, railing, lighting, joint sealing, pavement treatment, topsoiling, fencing, landscapinq, cleanup and traffic signs.

Progress has been lagging during the past two weeks on most of the jobs. The State must direct maximum work effort durinq the winter months if all contracts are to be completed prior to the opening of the Fair,

Contract No; 2, (Merritt:_}.Tt, Vernon) - has the largest amount of work to complete, Work progress and work forces have been reduced to a critical point. Most of the remaining work is in the heart of the Fair area and must be completed as early as possible.

Contract No. 13 (Arth~!rl.Or}nson) - will not be completed by the openinq of the Fair unless maxin.u1 •. winter operations are required by the State. Based on past progl'ess, completion by the opening of the Fair is very dubious.

,Qontract No, 6 !DeLillo) - has suspended all operations allegedly due to financial difficulties. The State has ordered full scale resumption before January 17, 1964, or the contract will be terminated and completed by another contractor.

-2-

The other lagging contracts can be completed prior to the opening of the Fair with close coordination and supervision by the State.

The landscaping and traffic sign contracts are also lagging and require maximum expediting action by the State.

ro: Mr. Robert Moses oATE: January 13, 1964

FROM: Bill Berns

suBJEcT: Communications and Public Relations Status Report (ConsUltants- Thomas Deegan, William J. Donoghue, J. Walter Thompson)

The following is a report on past activity and future plans of the Communications and Public Relations Department in the world-wide promotion of the New York World's Fair.

In the early Public Relations planning for the Fair1 it was determined by this department together with its consultants, the Thomas J. Deegan Company 1 the William Donoghue Company and J. Walter Thompson, that:

1. Publicity and promotion timing was vital to the success of this operation.

2. The Fair would work closely with exhibitors on promotion and advertising to assure success; and would advise and coordinate the promotional and advertising activity of Fair participants.

3. The Fair would keep all news media apprised of day-to-day news activity related to the Fair and its exhibitors. The report indicates that a heavy concentration of Fair promotion will be effective in three-and-one-half months prior to opening of the Fair in 1964; and that Fair participants are responding to the promotional cooperation which we engendered.

During the past year over 1, 000 magazines throughout the United States and abroad have published major articles and advertisements on the Fair.

Television stations throughout the United States and Canada are serviced on a regular basis with Fair information and news. Six special one-minute films were furnished to over 300 television stations in the United States during the past year. Many network programs, such as the Tonight Show, Today, CBS Reports, Huntley-Brinkley, quiz shows, etc., have done progress features and other types of coverage of the Fair over the year. Overseas programming has included coverage in West Germany, West Berlin, Italy, England, France, Canada and Warsaw.

The theme of the parade was the World's Fair, and over 65 million people watched this via NBC and CBS television.

The Fair has produced three progress films. The first two, distributed in 1962 and 1963, reached an estimated total audience of 35 million, through television and clubs. The third Fair film is now being released to television stations throughout the country. The United States Travel Service is servicing the areas abroad.

A special World's Fair preview display in the Time-Life Exhibit Hall in Rockefeller Center, exhibited from July to September, drew the largest audience of any previous display with nearly half-a-million people attending in just under eight weeks.

For the past year, and continuing through 1964, the Fair has maintained a display and information booth at Disneyland on the West Coast, with an estimated attendance of one million.

Ne!~spapers: {Cont'd)

planning the biggest supplement in its history (180 pages); the Daily News (largest circulation in the world) with two major supplerrents, Papers in Chicago, St. Louis, Washington, San Francisco and Boston are planning major supplements.

Radio- TV

0 enin Da Television: In addition to the coverage of the Opening Day festivities, NB will produce a one and a-half hour special, from 7:30 to 9:00PM, on the Fair, sponsored by U.S. Steel. This is expected to attain the largest audience of any single entertainment television show ever produced.

Today Show: (NBC-TV) Will originate at least half-an-hour a week, e.very week, from the Fair.

Programs already making specific plans for pre -opening and postopening programming include: "Tonight", "Steve Allen," "Candid Camera,'' "Ed Sullivan," "·Perry Como," "Danny Kaye," "Queen for a Day," "Captain Kangaroo," "To Tell the Truth." Several series are now planning to emanate from the Fair grounds.

Radio-TV Kit: A complete kit will be serviced to over 6, 000 radio and TV·stations in the United States and abroad during February.

Speakers B:ureau: Through the cooperation of the participants such as General Electric, Bell System, Travelers Insurance, American Express, Formica, and such non-participants as Mohawk, Delta, and other air lines, the Fair's speaker's program has generated what now amounts to 2, 800 speeches a week throughout the country.

Advertising; The Fair's pre -Christmas advertising campaign directed toward ticket sales helped reach the current advance sale of $4, 500, 000. 00 in tickets. (Note: Although the advance ticket sale continues to March 1 we have already reached the highest boxoffice advance of any event in history). The Fair tie-in advertising program has resulted to date in generating over 150 million dollars in Fair-oriented advertising for 1964.

Mr. Moses

Display Promotion:

Food Fair Super Markets: The Fair will be the main theme in over 500 Food Fair stores during March, 1964.

In all, these promotions will be viewed by some 150, 000, 000 people during the next three months.

In addition to the aforementioned, the Fair's $500,000 modern Press Building, along with the new Radio-TV Press Satellite area, are prepared with the professional staffs of the Deegan and Donoghue companies to service the thousands of working press -covering the Fair and to make certain the news of l;!le Fair is transmitted world-wide every day.

MEMORANDUM TO MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

FROM GEORGE E. SPARGO .. , '-. FREDERIC H. SRANOI , .• ·J ,

" ~~ ;lf'\' '-GEORGE 8. MOORE I -. ' WILLIAM H. MOORE

WILLIAM H. MORTON It is with considerable satisfaction that I report to you the WILLIAMs. RENCHARD results of the financial operations of the Corporation to January 1, DAVID RocKEFELLER 1964. The Corpptroller has prepared an estimate of cash flow JOHN M. SCHIFF

DALE E. SHARP comparable to the one considered at the last joint meeting of the Executive Committee and the Finance Committee. A copy of this

ALEXANDER M. WHITE is attached. It shows that the recommendations of the two commit-

Sub-Committe~ tees as to the temporary financing were followed to the extent necessary since our last meeting. At that meeting, the Corporation

MILLER MOORE d l cHAIRMAN authorize the borrowing of short-term money from commercia

RoLLIN c. susH banks in the amount of six million dollars. Three million dollars of RoBERT E. cHRISTIE. "'this was borrowed at an interest cost of five percent per annum and ABRAM cLAuDe:. JR. is reflected in the attached tabulation. WILLIAM F. CORE

ROBERT V. LINDSAY

DAVID T. MIRALIA

ROBERT R. SMITH

RICHARD B. WHITNEY

A comparison of the Cash Flow chart with the Summary Statement of Receipts and Disbursements might be confusing. The estimate of Cash Flow shows a balance at the end of 1963 of more than four million dollars. The last figure on the Summary Statement of Receipts and Disbursements shows a balance of more than six million dollars. The difference between these two figures is accounted for by the funds already deposited with the city, state and federal governments for Fair Corporation's share of the cost of contracts within the Fair area let by governmental agencies and the deposits made to cover employment contracts now in force. The actual cash on hand shown on the Summary Statement of Receipts and Disbursements has been increased since the first of the year to more than five million dollars.

When we started our drive nearly three years ago, the budget estimates indicated that the Fair would require pre-Fair financing in the amount of forty million dollars. We sold approximately thirty million dollars of slx percent notes to various individuals and corporations throughout the country. At our last meeting, it was

- continued·-

91 DAYS TO OPENING DAY

.. . .. - 2 ~

obvious from the study of the figures that the entire forty million dollars would not be required. The Finance Committee recommended and the Executive Committee approved short-term borrowing from banks as a substitute for selling the additional notes which will result in the substantial saving in interest cost to the Fair. Our total debt, as of January 1, 1964, was approximately thirty-three million dollars. It is safe to assume that the debt of the Corporation on opening day, April 22, 1964, will not exceed thirty-five million dollars.

It is the opinion of the Comptroller who prepared the Cash Flow sheet that no further borrowing will be needed. An examination of the figures indicates to me that there is only one optimistic figure in Column 2 which forecasts the income and expenses from January 1, 1964 to April21, 1964, which may not be realized. He anticipates that an additional four million dollars will be derived from admissions prior to April 22, 1964. To the extent that this is optimistic, it will be necessary for the Corporation to use some part of the additional short-term borrowing recommended by the Finance Committee and approved by the Executive Committee. If this income from admissions is not realized during this pre-Fair period, it will be picked up in subsequent columns and the total income from this source in later periods will take up the slack so that the net result will be the same.

Column 3 of the Estimated Casl;l Flow for the first operating season of the Fair is conservative. Examination of this column shows that we can attain our goal, meet our operating costs and pay off all of our indebtedness prior to the end of 1964. It is our feeling that we can go into the 1965 operating season with a cash balance of more than twenty million dollars.

As we approach the opening day of the first operating season of the Fair, the great interest generated in the project, both here and abroad, added to the interest shown in the advance sale of tickets, confirms the original estimated attendance figures. Construction and operating costs have followed remarkably close to the original estimates. There will be some slight increase in the actual cost of construction. This has been more than compensated for by a decrease in the interest costs and operating costs.

Following this Cash Flow chart to completion, you will see that it is our considered opinion that by the end of the Fair the City of New York will have been repaid the twenty-four million dollars it spent on permanent park improvements in the Fair site and that a substantial balance will be available for park improvements.

These park improvements are described in detail in a report released by the Fair this week entitled "Flushing Meadow and Beyond". This provides a master plan not only for the completion of construction of Flushing Meadow Park, so

badly needed in this solidly built-up Borough of Queens, but also of a Corridor Park extending from Flushing Meadow Park to and through Kissena Park, Cunningham Park, Alley Park and Douglaston Park Golf Course. With the approval of the City of New York, the Fair Corporation could and should carry out this proposed post-World's Fair program and leave to the City not only the great benefits derived during the two years of operation but a permanent park improvement as a lasting memory of a ver·y successful exposition.
