    PROJECT OPEN MIND UPDATE
    Tuesday, December 12, 1995 
    
    FOR EXTERNAL USE
    
   Face-to-face meetings and public pressure on at least one Houston television
    station has apparently paid off.  The Houston chapter reports that Steve
    Wasserman, General Manager of KPRC, the NBC affiliate, went on the air
    yesterday with an editorial in support of PFLAG and Project Open Mind.  His
    editorial was rerun twice during news programs.  Congratulations to the
   Houston chapter for their successful efforts at media outreach following the
    CBN threats.
    
    We plan to issue a press release tomorrow announcing the Hogan and Hartson
    decision to offer us pro bono representation against the CBN's harassing
    legal threats.  The text will be reproduced here as part of tomorrow's
    update.
