Box 280 Redlands, CA 92373 Dear Mayor Roth: Thank you and your councilmembers for supporting FCMC efforts to obtain U. S. Customs and Immigration services at Ontario International Airport (ONT) . Please be aware that your resolution, along with some twenty ethers, was part of a briefing package personally submitted to Vice President George Bush. The road map is now established to move the approval through all affected federal agencies and O.M.B. Capital costs by ONT and operating costs for initial operations are known. FCMC is working with Mr. Vick Sargent, Operations Vice President of the Los � Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to coordinate foreign charter flight arrivals at ONT by early 1984. when the Olympics are concluded that year, it is logical for the Corridor to continue receiving the charters that deliver foreign visitors to attractions such as the Tournament of Roses, Rose Bowl, Super Bowl, skiing attractions, high desert, Palm Springs, etc. , etc. Tourism is an important economic growth activity for the Corridor that can employ many more people. with ONT becoming a window to the world for both visitors and trade, more jobs and spendable dollars will result throughout the Corridor.
