McCormack infroms Phil Pilley that, for his very confidential infromation, ABC is going to go along with the United States Golf Association's suggestion on a Walker Cup film and on a U. S. Open historical. He explains that the USGA does not even know this yet, and that ABC is going to want to assign a liaison man on the project, who McCormack believes will probably be Terry Jastrow. He notes that they may also want to use Jim McKay and/or Dave Marr as commentators. He indicates that ABC will also pay for Peter Alliss, or assign him to these films as part of their contract with him. McCormack asks Pilley not to have any financial discussions with Alliss about these projects until they have talked. He indicates that he will keep Pilley posted, but that he should figure on definitively doing the Walker Cup film and producing the U. S. Open historical.
