I June 1, 1971 Dear Patriots. GREETINGS1 | After eight weeks lapse since the start of the liberation war in Bangladesh it became necessary to find ways for co-coordinating and channeling the spontaneous patriotic responses shown by all the Bengalis residing in the West Coast of the United States. In order to arrive at some specific lines of approach for effective co-ordination and communication, a meeting was held on May 22, 1971 at San Francisco among the representatives of Los Angeles, Berkeley, Stanford and San Francisco Bengalis residents. Since many of our compatriots are scattered over a wide area, we must set up an effective co-coordinating system to utilize the efforts and enthusiasm of all these scattered individuals in a well knit organized way. This will eliminate unnecessary expenses like long distance phone calls etc. and unwanted expenditure of human energy. This news bulletin is the first step to set up the effective unified organisation. In the meeting of May 22, the following decisions were arrived at by all the representatives of Berkeley, Los Angeles, Stanford and San Francisco. 1. The main co-coordinating body will be stationed at Los Angeles and will communicate with the other units of the West Coast at Berkeley. San Francisco. Stanford, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Denver (Colorado) and Tucson (Arizona). It will also look forward to setting up co-ordination with more units in Hawaii, Dallas and Pittsburg (Kansas). 2. Active communication with New York, Washington, Chicago and Michigan bodies will be maintained by the main co-coordinating body, and it will also convey the instructions received from the Bangladesh government to all other units of the West Coast. 3. All units will exchange information of interests amongst themselves and will pass on the news to all local members. 4. A remittance of 5% of the total collections will be made by all the West Coast units to the Los Angeles body in order to cover the overhead expenses of publicity and other coordinating expenses.
