Committee to produce a short video of Free Speech Be Live Clips met 7/20 to discuss approach and methods. Committee is making an attempt to recruit tapes from Be Live producers from which interesting sound bites can be selected and assembled to make a 15-30 minute video for internal and external showings. Title of 'Be Live Remix' was tentatively agreed on.

Committee members attended the 'Talent Show' meeting and requested tapes from assembled Be Live producers there. Further attempts to recruit tapes will be made. Editors believe task is quite doable.
