Dear Don
We have had a considerable
number of •inquiries as to why
Sesame Street will not be carried
on TV stations this season, and.
I am sure the enclosed informa-
tion by way of a public announce.
ment by the Canadian Radio-
Television Commission will be of
interest to your readers.
Yours sincerely ,
