Councilman 96-651 -2- I am requesting $500 -or more if possible -from the City of Bangor to help support our region in an opportunity that rarely presents itself, i realize this request is unusual and my position within the City of Bangor can complicate the situation. However, after a lot of thought I truly believe this is more then a junket and affords us an opportunity to expand our potential markets sooner rather than later. Because of the short planning horizon and paperwork necessary to join the delegation, I would appreciate an answer to my request by September 30, 1999. YY. � 11' M. Cohen [tor of Communications 6 Public Affairs WMC/hk 94-451 •�; SEP 211994 � 't 33 Stale Street, P.O. Box"LOPor, Madre M02 09!2 207405-5621 %yyM September 20, 1994 Ed Barrett, City Manager City of Bangor 74 Harlow Street Bangor, ME 04401 Dear Ed This is a difficult letter to write because as businessmen we assume that our Companies will absorb the financial Commitment necessary to support the organizations to which we belong. However, a unique opportunity has been presented to mer and Bangor Hydro, and while supporting my participation, SHE cannot bear all the financial responsibility of this proposal. Let me get right to the point. The MOCED (Mike Aube directly) has put together a follow-up mission to Chile and Argentina. The purpose of the trip is to encourage Chile to form e formal relationship with Maine, and hopefully the Greater Bangor Region as we work to expand our possible export markets. In Argentina, there is to be a formalexchange of documents eating a relationship between their Chamber and ours e-ttureging expicrat oft of possible bu opportunities. Additionally, the Argentineans have already purchased more then $1,000,000 in Maine made manufactured homes and want to expand on the existing relationship. I have been invited to represent the Greater Bangor Region, as well as the City of Bangor, on this trip from October 22, 1994 through October 29, 1994. The cost will be approximately $5,000 and besides my personal commitment and that of my employer, I see seeking assistance from organizations directly and/or indirectly with the opportunity to benefit from this trip.
