Mr. Sxyars New York, New York Tele. Miss Holzes m Gandy Dear Sir: On Monday, March 8, 197!, I watched the Laugh-ln program and was dis- appointed in parts of the show. I feel that this program has steadily deteriorated In the quality of comedy presanted. In thls particular show, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was a target of undue ridicule and mockery. As a U. S. tax payer, I resent this type of sick comedy about a U. S. government agency which has over the years performed an excellent service. Kr. Hoover and the Fsl agents deserve better than this from you and your network. I know that this letter will probably have ilttle or no effect on you and your programming; however, I fee! compelled to voice ay displeasure In the type of shows you are trans- mItting Into the American home. I feel that the dIsrespect exhlbited Iby the Laugh-in program contrlbutes to the apparent apathy whlch.many 197 peopie have toward Iaw and order. I think It Is high tlme that net- 15 works like yours try to portray a more posltive picture of agencies Nike the FBl. In addition, I think that the continual rldicule of the Pentagon by the Laugh-in program is also a disgrace. We have many problems In. America wl thout thls type of sick conedy. I hope that In the future you and your staff can try to use conedy to palnt a better picture of your country and government.,.It's always easy to be a smart aleck without regard for the other Fellaw, but it's more difficult to bring real entertainment Into the American home with-. out offending the U. s. Governnent. I would suggest that you get some writers who belleve In the American system or at least actlike~they Want to make it work. EX-101 Ack Jencs tc Bisire REC-7 JHeklt+ Sincerely.
