It has come to my attention that Mr. Robert E. Ham, Southern California Land Use Director of Motorcycle Owners, Riders. and Enthusiasts stated on page 41, issue 27 CN that "I lID disappointed that America's number one weekly motorcycle newspaper would send such an inexperienced, uninformed writer to cover an interview which demands the Ittention of an experienced journalist. Certainly these in terviews would not bave been obtained had it not been for the reputation and eirculation of Cycle News. (Don't want to bust your bubble. John)." As you know, the John referred to in the above statement is John Ulrich of La Mirada, whOle friendship I have valued for some three yean. In flimeu to him, I am compeDed to correct Mr. Ham's statement. It WIS because of John's active interest in government and his ability to communicate to me his concerns about legislative rroposals affecting motorcyclists thlt felt an interview with the Governor. would be worthwhile and I recommended to the Governor that John be given an appoin tlDent. With aD due respect, the interview WIS not granted because of the reputation and eirculation of Cycle News. In addition to his personal eontacts with me, John arraDlI"d for Mr. Russ Sanford. founder and president of M.O.R.E., to meet with me last year in my office to discuss vitll issues of interat to his group. Contrary to Mr. Ham's remarks about inexperience and being uninformed, I believe John shcn,s remarkable insight and wisdom on how to get thinp done. JOE A.
