I remember one day talking to a bishop about Cleon Skousen, he said to me,I thought they (the church) dismissed Skousens theorys. I would venture to say here this letter would prove otherwise!.....THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS 47 EAST SOUTH TEMPLE STREET SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84150 EZRA TAFT BENSON July 28, 1976 Dear Verlan, I acknowledge with appreciation your letter of July 24 regarding the two pieces of legislation which you and your associates are supporting. I am very pleased to note that you feel that what you are proposing is supported strongly by the Book of Mormon. I am a great believer in the Book of Mormon and feel strongly that it was written for our day and time. I have said to many people that a person will come to be better informed regarding whats happening in the world today by reading the Book of Mormon than all the magazines and newspapers combined. My great concern is whether we have time enough through the legislative route and the great lack of support for sound principles to get the job done, because of the rate at which the subversive program is closing in on us. I have just listened to two tapes of the Alan Stang Report. I dont know if youve heard of these, Verlan. This is a new service of the JBS and I understand some 150 stations are carrying the program now. It runs 5 minutes per day for five days of the week, all of which are on one cassette tape. The program is sponsored and purchased by business firms. KSL is running it on time purchased and the service purchased by Larson Ford and I understand it plays every day at 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You may want to write to Alan Stang, Belmont, Mass., 02178 and ask them to send you a sample copy or their promotion tape. It may be you could get it on a Provo station or it may be that a group of you could join together and get it for your own personal use. I believe Reid Bankhead and some of the others might join with you, including Cleon Skousen, with whom I discussed the matter in the hope that he might find use for it. They are sending a copy to me weekly complimentary. Its really news behind the news and is a job well done and most timely. With warm regards. Sincerely, H. Verlan Andersen 1155 East 930 North Provo, Utah 84601
