PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE, FARLIAMENT HOUSE, CANBERRA. 3RD AUGUST, 1967 - PM'S VISIT TO THE WEST : PRESS ARRANGEMENTS

PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE,
PARLIAMENT HOUSE,
CANBERRA. 3rd August, 1967.
PM's VISIT TO THE WEST PRESS ARRANGEMENTS
In order that I can assess requirements, I would
like to know how many news organisations would be interested in
sending representatives to cover the Prime Minister's West Australian
tour in September, including the opening of North-West Cape.
As I see it at this stage, transport arrangements
will probably be similar to Mr Holt's recent Asian visits, with the
participating media contributing to the cost of a special press aircraft.
Cost per seat would probably work out at much the same rate as
commercial fares for the routes to be flown.
I would like to know as soon as possible how many
newsmen would be wishing to cover the tour on this basis.
