DATE: Cour
May 19 , 19 9 2
SUBJECT: COUNTY GREETINGS TO THE VAR, FRANCE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S). & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request that Clay Kallam, a prominent
local journalist, carry with him, when he travels to France in June,
the county's warmest greetings to Maurice Arreckx, 'President of the '
General Counsel; Guy Ramage, President of The Var Chamber of Commerce;
Jean-Pierre Costamagna, President of Club Mistral; Yann Staraci,
General Manager of Echovar; Jean-Jacques Vitrac, our sister-county
liaison; and all the citizens of The Var, France, our sister county.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None to be incurred by Contra Costa
County as Mr. Kallam will be traveling as a private citizen at his own
expense.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Clay Kallam and Gerald Neece, a
former resident of Contra Costa and a representative of the Amdahl
Corporation, the second largest mainframe- computer company in the
world, will be traveling to the south of France during a portion of
the month of June. Mr. Kallam and Mr. Neece are interested in
continuing the social, cultural and economic exchange established by
Contra Costa County through its sister-county relationship with The ,
Var, France, and will promote joint business ventures .
Mr. Kallam and Mr. Neece will be traveling to the City of,
Toulon, the capital of The Var and that initial contact has been made
for him to meet with Mr. Maurice Arreckx, Mr. Yann Staraci, and Mr.
Jean-Jacques Vitnac on June 5th and 6th. Mr. Kallan is hoping for a
journalistic exchange and the possibilities of the exchange of women
basketball teams.
I believe Mr. Kallam's and Mr. Neece's contacts with our
sister-county representatives will be of benefit to Contra Costa
County and therefore request that he be extended the courtesy
available as a representative of Contra Costa County.
