Amendment to the lease agreement between the Fair Corporation and
the Pepsi-Cola Company modifying the Pepsi-Cola lease in the light of

Unicef Exhibit on the Pepsi-Cola plot. Admission will be charged to

Mr. Robinson and Mr. Gimbel inquired
as to the rental arrangement under the amendment. Mr. Stone replied
that Pepsi-Cola had made its first rental payment in accordance with
the usual arrangements with industrial exhibitors but that, in considera-
tion of Pepsi-Cola donating substantial space to the United States
Committee for Unicef and constructing an exhibit for Unicef, its re-
maining rental payments had been made payable out of the first net
operating revenues from the project. In view of the fact that the rental
return is now subject to a contingency, the total rental has been in-
creased. It is anticipated that, under the revised arrangement Pepsi-
Cola will, in the long run, pay the same rental due under its original
lease agreement plus a minimum of an additional $100,000 of rent.

were the only feasible way to do it.

MEMORANDUM TO MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
FROM GEORGE E. SPARGO
The attached memorandum and breakdown of estimated
cash-flow are self-explanatory. This is the matter which I
would like to discuss at the June 7th meeting with the Execu-
tive Committee, and I have given them copies of this corres-
pondence.
It would seem to me that we have two possibilities to
meet any contingency that might arise about the end of the year:
1. Sell more Notes .
2. Reach an agreement with banks, insurance compa-
nies and otl1er large substantial business groups for the ad-
vance sale of tickets which, if the purchaser is not able to
dispose of prior to February 29, 1964, we can agree to redeem
by July of 1964.
Unfortunately the Resolution adopted by the Executive
Committee authorizing the sale of Notes, which was adopted
when the Fair was first started, contained a provision restrict-
ing short-term borrowing from banks.
I hope that you wlll give this some thought prior to June 7th
and feel free to discuss it at the meeting to be held on that date.

suwECT, CASH FLOW
Attached an estimate of the cash flow from May 1st to June 30, 1963, and
quarterly t:nerea.fter to June 30, 1964. This estimate was prepared on a most con-
servative basis. ,:The receipts froin ground rentals, concessions, other services
and utilities were Calculated on the basis of actual signed leases and
Sites, licenses and concessions under negotiation are not included.
Admissions prior to April 1, 1964 of $6,300,000 represents advance tickt::t .sales
of about 5, 000,000 tickets. Durinq the 1939 Fair the advance ticket sale was 6
1
000, 000
tickets and the SeatUe Fair had an advance sale of approximately 4, 000, 000 out of a.
total attendance of 10, 000, 000 people. The am1ount included 1n this estimate is about
one half of what the Thomas ;r. Deegan Ticket Sales DiVision confidenUy expects to
.
You will note that we have deducted 8% allowance on all receipts from October-
1st on to provide for any tmfOJrseen circumstances and that no provision has been
made for the sale of any further Notes.
The construction costs were submitted by the Enqineers on the basis of the
total amount estimated by them without any allowance for contingencies, which now
stands at about $1,100,000. The other expenditures were taken at the full amount
budqeted for each period, although in the past we have consistentiy been running below
that.
In my opinion the actual results will be a great improvement over the above
estimates. However based on the picture shown above, we will run into a temporary
dfficit in the later part of 1963 and the early part of 1964. Should it become apparent
that these deficits will materialize, tickets can be sold to banks with the privilege of
redemption. Three and a half million tickets will assure us of over $4,000,000 in
receipts. The above estimate shows the $4, 000, 000 could be repaid by June 30, 1964.
As a further 9Uarantee the month of J"uly will produce a revenue from admissions arid
rentals of $15,000,000 against an expense of about $3, 500,000 ::oo tho.t ticko
presented for redampUon would surely be redeemed before Auqust 1, 1964 at the latest

susJECT: Amendments to Regulations Concerning Revenue Control
Part 5 of the Special Regulations of the Fair Corporation
entitled
11
Regulations Governing Revenue Control'' has remained
substantially unchanged since its adoption two or three years ago.
During the period since the adoption of Part 5,
various agreements between the Fair Corporation and its con-
cessionaires have set forth spectfic revenue control requirements
in some detail.
1v1r. Constable and Mr. Witc that it is now desirable
to expand Part 5 so as to specify in greater detail the requirements
as to revenue control and to conform such requirements to the
procedures set forth in most concession agreements. A draft of
a revised Part 5 has been prepared by us along lines recommended
by Mr. Witt and the staff and approved by them. The principal
features of the expanded Part 5 are as follows:
1). Revenues are to be collected daily by Pinkerton's and
deposited in the commercial bank on the Fair site.
2). Concessionaires are to submit daily and monthly
reports as to revenues.
3). A percentage of daHy gross receipts to be determined
by the Fa.ir Corporation is to be deposited in an escrow
account from which payments to the Fair Corporation
only will be made. Amounts in the escrow account are
to be periodically released to the concessionaire after
payments due to the Fair Corporation have been made.
4). AcCOlmting procedures and forms to be used by conu
cessionaires are to be submitted for approval.
contd.
-2-
5). Specific procedures are set forth with respect to
coin operated devices, tickets and cash registers.
6). Inspections and shoppers' audits are provided for. Con-
cessionaires are to reimburse the Fair Corporation for
merchandise purchased on shoppers' audits upon return
of the merchandise in saleable condition.
'7). Services rendered to the concessionaire by Pinkerton's
are to be at the concessionaire's expense.
I recommend that you request the Executive Committee to
authorize the President to approve a !'evision to PQ.rt 5 of the
Special Regulations in general accordance with this memorandum,
such regulations to be effective upon your approval.

MEMORANDUM TO GEORGE E. SPARGO
FROM JOHN T. O'NEILL
SUBJECT: Progress Report on Arterial Highway Construction in the
___________
Approximately six months rerr::ain in this construction season. With
the exception of the Clearview Expressway (Contract No. 17) which should be
substantially completed by August, all other contracts are scheduled for com-
pletion in the late fall and early winter. None of these contracts has any cushion
for snafus or lethargic supervision - the pressure must be continuous from now
to completion.
In addition there are four critical contracts at this time that require
a substantial increase in work effort and improvement in progress if the areas
are going to be ready for the opening of the Fair. They are: Contract No.
Grand Central Parkway - Merritt-Mt. Vernon); Contrads Nos. 10 and ;ill.J
69th Road - {HendrickQtl Bros. -Arthur Johnson Corp. ); and Contract No.
Whitestone Expres::;way - (Tully & DiNapoli).
Contract No. _b Grand Central Parkway - (Merritt-Mt. Vernon).
Some improvement in progress has been made. However, the contractor must
more than double his average monthly work placement rate within the next two
months. Weef'Jy meetings are being held by the State with the Supervising
Engineers and the contractor in an effort to improve progress.
Work on the Roosevelt Avenue elevated structure is about ten days
ahead of the schedule developed by the consulting engineer.
The new Long Island bridge is approximately four months
behind schedule and is the most critical item of work at this time. Traffic has
been diverted to the Westbound collector-ui.stributor road, and demolition of the
old bridge can be started. The Eastbound collector-distributor road has been
further delayed and will not be ready for traffic for about a week.
The Fair's bridge over the Long Island Expressway has been further
delayed approximately six weeks due to steel fabrication and erection difficulties.
These corrections are minor and should be made immediately. The contractor
estimates that the bridge can be completed in a month after the steel is accepted.
The Fair expected this bridge in January 1963.
-2-
Contracts Nos. 3 and 5,_ Grand Parkway- (Tully & DiNapolil
are still a month late in diverting traffic to the service roads. This is delaying
an already tight schedule for repaving the Grand Central Parkway.
Contract No. 6, Grand Central Parkway- (DeLillo) should complete
the parkway substantially on schedule. However, the work on the local streets
has been dragged out about eight months longer than anticipated and has caused
the public unnecessary inconveniences and hazardous conditions. The State
has been requested to impose the contract penalties for unsatisfactory traffic
maintenance.
Contracts Nos. 10 and 13
1
69th Road Bridge over VanWyck Express-
way- (Hendrickson Bros. -Arthur Johnson Corp.). This area is both complex
and critical. Due to delays on Contract No. 10 (Hendrid:son Broso ) it now appears
that this bridge will not be completed until February 1964 or later and will
probably entail additional costs. Unless there is a major increase in work effort
now the opening of the VanWyck Expressway may be seriously delayed.
Contract No. 11, .Long Island Expressway Interchange - (Johnson
7
Drake & Piper) has completed pile driving for the viaducts and can be expected
to further improve progress. The contractor intends to increase the work effort
which should permit completion within a reasonable time of scheduled completion.
No. 15, Flushing Riyer Eridqe - (Ottavjano) has made very
good progress and will open the new Flushing River Bridge to traffic on June 4,
1963. Demolition of the old bridge has started. The schedule for the rebuilding
of the old bridge is very tight. However, if the contractor continues his accel-
erated work effort the reconstruction should be completed before winter.
Contract.No. 16, Whitestone E!Pressway - (Tully & DiNapoli).
Increased work effort and a material improvement in progress is badly needed
on this job, The arrangements for the opening of the Flushing River Bridge have
not been completed and may require overtime. Fabrication difficulties have
delayed delivery of the steel for the 20th Avenue bridge for over three weeks.
The opening on the 14th Avenue bridge is about a week late.
Contract No. 17, Clearview Expresswav- (Grow-Catapano-Orlando)
has been lagging this spring. This job could have the dictinction of opening for
traffic within the contract completion time, It appears that the expressway could
be opened to traffic about July 1st. An opening date should be set accordingly.

You will recall that at the Executive Committee meeting
of March 28, 1963 a Committee consisting of Mr. Spargo,
Mr. Preusse and the President, ex officio, was appointed to
prepare recommendations for the Executive Committee concerning
the policies to be adopted on the issuance of passes.
In view of the complexity of this problem, I think a
larger committee might be more suitable. Accordingly, I have
asked Mr. Gimbel and Mr. Witt to also serve.

FROM
John V. Thornton
sua.JECT: Terrace Club
To facilitate the obtaining of a retail, on premises liquor
license with respect to the Terrace Club, it will be desirable
for the Fair Corporation to certify to the State Liquor Authority
that the Club premises has been "designated as an authorized
facility of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation".
We believe that such
11
designation
11
could appropriately be
accomplished by means of an Executive Committee resolution
in the following form:
"RESOLVED, that the premises conducted at the Port of
New York Authority's building at the Fair site by Top of
the Fair, Inc. as a restaurant, including the part of such
premises devoted to the private club presently lmown as the
Terrace Club, is hereby designated as an authorized
facility of the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation,
and the President is hereby authorized to make arrangements
to certify to the New York State Liquor Authority that said
premises has been so designated. "
If you approve, we recommend that the above resolution be
submitted to the Executive Committee for adoption.

effectuate this exclusive, there should be added to Article XI (d),
the article which forbids the sale of certain items without specific
written permission, the words "religious articles". Counsel recom-

"Catholic religious articles" since it is possible that other religiou..c:;

LEASES ~ E R ACTIVE NEGOT;r.ATION
We have given this project the highcst"priority
and we are meeting on almost a daily basis with
prospective participants such as I.T. & T, United
Aircraft, Humble Oil etc.
Although we had some early disappointments
(G. E., r . B.M. etc.) we have every confidence
that the Hall of Science will be filled with
outstanding exhibits. We are pleased to report
that Martin .. Harrietta has made a firm committrnent
to provide exhibits .for the entire upper floor.
Because of the importance and urgency of t:his
project I will continue to report separately on it.
Sixteen months ago we presented Eastern with a
d e t ~ J Hed study showing them how they could t:i.e
in their "air-shuttle" service with a unique
building at the Fair. We have been workJ.ng on
proposal ever since, and it now appears that: our
effons have finally met with success.
Under this plan, which they have adopted without
change, Eastern would provide a major promotional
campaign to have their air-shuttle passengers
travel directly to the World Fair without first
stopping in a downtown hotel At the Fair, Eastern
will construct a combination exhibit and terminal
building to handle the substantial traffic that
they expect to generate.
Last week we met with Mr. George Smith, Vice
President and reached agreement on terms which
were subsequently approved by Hessrs. Witt and Goo
stable. Mr, Thornton
1
s staff is now preparing
the lease document.
On Apri.l 16, to the astonishment of all of the
Socony people working on the fair, their Executive
Gonunittee voted down a staff proposal to erect
an exhibit building at the Fair.
However, we have persuaded them to take another
look and we are pleased to report that the project
now looks even more promising than before. A
final, and affirmative, decision is expected shortly

Mily 27, 1963
Despite all our efforts, it now appears Messrs.
Briggs and Crane (Marinas of the Future, Inc.)
will not be able to put together the Marine
Center. they will, of course, go forward with
the Flushing Bay lola rina.
We have therefore, requested Mr. thornton to take
whatever legal steps are necessary to terminate
the Marine Center option now held by Marinas of
the .Future. This will have the effect of
increasing their rent on the Flushing Bay Marina
by $25,000 and will require them to pay the Fair
a percentage of their gross revenue.
We have been anticipating tlus move for some time.
Therefore, in conjunction with Mr. Constable's
office we have taken steps t.l tlw Hm:i.ne
with the Antique Auto Cuvalcade de:;:.:< :i.bcd
below.
This project is a thoroughly proven and highly
successful concession which permits both adults
and to reU.ve the exciting days of the
Stanley Staamer and the Stutz Bearcat. As far
as we can determine, it is the best of all the
paid admission automobile rides. Looking hack
as it does to the auto at the turn of the century,
it should provide a refreshing contrast to the
futuristic picture of the industry that will be
provided by Ford, General Motors and Chrysler,
The Antique Auto Cavalcade will occupy 50,000
square feet across from Ford. The terms of this
agreement have been approved by Mr. Witt and Mr.
Constable and a lease document is now being
prepared by Mr. Thornton.
All of the remaining questions on this project
have been :resolved. The Fair's legal staff is
putting the lease into final form and a
signing is expected monentarily.
Mr. Constable's office is in the final stages of
negotiations with Alfa Rentals, Inc., for the
operation of stroller rental concessions in both
the Transportation and Industrial Sections of the

sUBJECT: PROPOSED LICENSE FOR WORLD'S FAIR APPAREL
Considerable interest has been shown by a number of companies in
various World's Fair apparel items for men, women and children. However,
because of the display problems and the considerable space required to stock
a variety of sizes, only a limited number of such apparel items could be sold
at the Brass Rail stands on the Fair site. TtE World's Fair motif could be
used as the basis for an effective national merchandise campaign provided it
were backed up by appropriate advertising and promotion. In view of these
limitations, there is a very limited number of companies who could do justice
to a grant in this area while meeting the standards we have estallllshed ior
the licensing program.
Media Enterprises interviewed representatives of 25 companies only 4 of
which made proposals.
Jane Ellen Blouse and Sportswear, Inc., New York City, offered
$10; 000 advance against 5% royalty for ladies' and girls' blouses.
Philip Rothenberg & Co. Inc. , New York City, offers no firm ad-
vance against a 10% royalty for woolen sport and dress shirts for
men and boys.
Simon and Mogelner, Birmingham, Alabama, offers no advance
against a 5% royalty for a full line of children's apparel items.
Reliance Manufacturing Company, New York City, offered a
guaranteed minimum royalty of $75,000., $37, 500 to be paid upon
signing and $37

Reliance requests that, subject to the Fair's approval, and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the basic licensing agreement, it be accorded
the right to sublicense companies to produce products in the Reliance grant as
listed above with the Fair and Reliance sharing equally any royalty payments
in excess of the specified royalty percentages that are Reliance's obligation
to pay under its agreement.
Reliance has some 19 subsidiaries in the clothing field under its control
and grosses in excess of $110,000
1
000. in sales annually. Reliance is
undoubtedly one of the leading diversified operations in the apparel field and
believes, with its extensive background in merchandising techniques, it could
do full justice to a license grant on the basis of national advertising and pro-
motional campaigns. Its guarantee of $7 5, 000 is far in excess of the offers
that could be obtained from the grant of a number of licenses in the apparel
field. The volume potential of the multi-million dollar sales organization in
the Reliance complex of companies will in Media's opinion bring total royalty
returns well beyond those to be earned by smaller companies which offer a
higher percentage royalty.
The Reliance Manuiact.uring Company employs union personnel.
Furthermore, Reliu.nce is at present negotiating for 29, 000 sq. ft. of exhibit
space in the Industrial Area.

FROM, Stuart Constable
suBJECT: General Indicator Company Proposal
Re Electronic Information Boards
My memorandum of May 24, 1963 on which you endorsed
approval, described the proposal of the above company (GIC) to
install and maintain approximately 18 electronically operated
bulletin boards at the Fair site provided that GIC is able to obtain
financial sponsorship for such activity.
The basic elements of the proposal are as follows:
1. GIC will have until August 1, 1963 to arrange sponsorship,
the agreement with the sponsor to be subject to the
Fair Corporation's approval.
2. Any sponsor other than a participant in the Fair will be
subject to the Fair Corporation's approval.
3. The Fair Corporation will not make any rental charge.
Except for the cost of electricity and insurance coverage
and the cost of operation, which will be borne by the
Fair Coxp oration, GIC will bear all costs of design,
construction, maintenance and removal of the boards
after the close of the Fair.
4. The Fair Corporation will receive a percentage of the
difference between the amount paid to GIC by the sponsor
and the "costs" incurred by GIC. These costs include
$1,800,000 as the price for the basic equipment, any
New York City Sales Taxes applicable, and the costs of
the framework, supports, installation, maintenance and
removal. To costs other than the $1,800,000 and sales
taxes, there will be added 15% for GIC's overhead and
10% as profit to GIC.
5. The Fair Corporation's percentage of the abovementioned
difference will be ten per cent (10%) if the sponsor is a
participant in the Fair, twenty per cent (20%) if the sponsor
is not a participant but does not compete commercially
with a participant, and thirty per cent (30%) if the sponsor
is not a participant but does compete commercially with one.
contd.
MR. MOSES
-2- June 3, 1963
6. The sponsor may have advertis:ing on the bulletin boards.
This will be subject to the Fair Corporation's approval.
7. The Fair Corporation will control the operation of the
system and the contents of the information.
The substance of the proposal has been approved by Mr. Witt
and JMr. Stone. If the plan does not succeed, we will still have
ample time to provide boards at our own cost. The principal benefit
of the proposal to us is that, if GIC's plan to obtain sponsorship
succeeds, we will be relieved of the cost of providing our own
information boards. Letter agreements embodying it are being
negotiated.
I recommend that you request the Executive Committee to
authorize the President to negotiate and execute letter agreements
with GIC in general accordance with the proposal as described above.

Dear Bob
Since our Executive Committee will meet jointly
with the Finance Committee on June 7, you might like to
have my reactions to the advance ticket sales outlook.
He have had a good e.::perience with many of' the
top potential buyers and this leads me to be optimistic
about the eventual successf'ul outcome of this campaign.
Our salesmen have had hardly any flat turndowns
from those solicited. However, it is fairly obvious that
the cash will not be forthcoming in a really big volume
until later in the year. Most businessmen find it hard
to justify putting a large sum of cash into "cold storage"
at this time when they could keep the money working for the
next few months and purchase their tickets for Cnristmas
gifts or just prior to the February 29 deadline.
Nevertheless, we feel it is important to contact
as many companies as possible now and be ready to nandle
the big rush when it comes. As you know, the campaign
already has produced substantial sales and continues upward
every day. The Cl1ristmas gift campaign should produce sub-
stantial sales at the time Erwin Witt informs me we will
need t!1e money.
\'le have been working closely with Erwin on this
special gift package wnich looks very promising. Tr1e banks
have been most cooperatlve and we look i'or a big sale there.
The exnibitors, independent packagers and transportation
groups - like A;nerican Airlines, the Long Island Railroad,
and others - ::.ool;. good. On the other hand, the department
stores and some other outlets are proving a lit.tle dis-
appointing.
our' ticket sales staff i1as tried to make a con-
servative estimate by groups of the potential sales quotas.
..._. Mr. Robert !'wloses -- Page Two
My expectation is that we will exceed the overall goal.
Nevertheless, based on the 10-million advance ticket ob-
jective, at the present time this is what we think we may
be able to achieve:
Estimate of
Advance Ticket Sales
Banks and Financial Institutions 2, 000,000

Amendment to Regulations concerning Name of Lake Area
and Other Minor Changes
You referred to me Judge Rosenman's letter of May 17, 1963
to you suggesting that the Lake Area be hereafter referred to as the
"Lake Amusement Area" in order to emphasize the fact that the Lake
Area will be devoted almost exclusively to amusements and to help
make clear that there will be substantial numbers of amusements at
the Fair. You requested me to put thi.s change in the works.
The only Executive Committee action I see to be taken is to
change Article VI on the first pa.g0 of the General Regulations, where
the areas of the Fair are set forth, to provi.de that they shall be
"Federal and States, International, Industrial, Transportation and
Lake Amusement" (underling supplied). Pending such action at the
June 7th meeting I suggest that Miss Haig notify the various executives
and consultants of the Fair that such change is contemplated so that they
can begin working it into new publications and releases.
Inasmuch a:s this Regulation cha..l"lge will require reprinting the
first page of the Regulations, we suggest at the same time making
certain other minor changes on the same page to update it, to wit,
specifying the actual opening and closing dates of the Fair in each year
(the present Regulations simply say they will be hereafter announced)
and setting forth the titles of the officers and other chief administrative
officials as they presently exist (the Regulations at the moment still use,
for example, the old title "Vice President-Industrial, Federal, State and
Special"Exhibits which Mr. Panuch held).
If you approve, we suggest you the Executive Committee
to authorize the President to approve a revision to the first page of the
General R:gllations (p. G-1) in general accordance with this memorandum,
such regulations to be effective upon your approval.

would like to recirculate persons interested in placing

We need an immediate decision U1e type of

City was to have included in the $24 mUl!on. A vJido vari.ety of.
proposals have been submitted from various sources. I hJ.vo gone
over the results with Gil Clarke and rzom Farrell and members vi
the staff. The cheapest proposal 1s, of co11rse, a R1nglin<Jtype
tent as originally suggestedg but would be unattracUve, hotand
noisy. Several other proposals are attractive but we are not sure
Uley would be safe. We believe that the best deal is a geodesic
dome along lines submitted to us by Synergetics Inc. and estimated
by a good contractor. The .dome and its foundation can be built
for about $380, 000. I have discussed this with Stuart Constable
and he agrees.
In addiUon to the dome itself, there will need to be seats,
stage and dressing rooms and lighting for television broadcasts,
which would be substantially tlle same for any type of structure.
These will probably cost about $400, 000. additional.
1 recommend that you approve my ne<JotlaUng agreement
with Synerget1cs to design this structure, in collaboration with an
architect, probably Eggers & HigginS, for the work inside the shell
and general architectural arra.1gements. Egqers & Hiqgins are
interested in this proposal and have about finished the plans for the

and layout is underway. exhibitors advanced in construction in this area.
A satisfactory scnedule has been worked out to avoid interferences between the many
working contractors in the area. A special study is being made of provision of
temporary electric service lo help out exhibitor construction, since the permanent
World's Fair service fo::c this area will not be operable for several months.
The five maintenance buildings are essentially complete except for the
