ye = 16, 1980 Mr. Tom Brokaw % sODAY SHOW, NBC Television Rockefeller Plaza New York, N.Y. 10020 Dear Mr. Brokaw: Tenjoy your TODAY ON NBC. I heard your program on October 15,1980 6:20 AM Albuquerque time, the presentation of which disturbed me. It was an interview whinis immediately following an interesting ABSCAM operation. The speaker was described as the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. This person ijdicated he was ‘concerned how persons were "targeted" . for the ABSCAM operation. He suggested that something like a search warrant be obtained before a person is "targeted." Personally, I think it absurd to have a law whick. required a search warrant-like device be get ined to operate anAPSCAM operation involving a law maker in this case,uppears and makes an offer of help for money. But, my point is, why didn't you present a person with an .mswer to the ACLU observations ? I understand the APSCAM progrfam was very carefully planned and monitored. And it woked, show ed scurrilous actions of some highly-placed individuals. Surely some individual would have been available to you, :to present after the ACLU interview, @ copiment on the ACLU concern, Please don't let TODAY SHOW become a media like the United Nations where one nation can make an accusation, in assembly, which makes front page.....then the much later refutation is on an inside page. May Ihear from you? v , 7 Yours trul: b 63-/728/ AYP ENCLOSURF
