UNITED WAY OF AMERICA,
Alexandria, VA, August 26, 1985.

Ms. SHARI FRIEDMAN,
Director of Video Administration, Atlantic Records, New York, NY.

DEAR MS. FRIEDMAN: I am writing to request the use of portions of Twisted Sister's music video "We're Not Gonna Take It" in a non-commercial television program we are producing on the Changing American Family.

Our program is divided into segments on the progressive stages of family development; Love and Marriage, Children, Teenagers, Parents and the Elderly. The clips from the Twisted Sister video would be used to introduce the Teenagers segment in the program. We hope that the video's introduction with the demanding father will be a light-hearted way of talking about communication with teenagers.

The show will be distributed to local United Ways across the country who will in turn broadcast the program on their local stations. This would make it difficult when and where the program would be aired. We would of course provide a "super" crediting Atlantic. The 3/4 inch format would be preferable.

Please contact me at United Way if you have any questions or need any additional information about our request. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

HUGH DRESCHER,
Associate Producer.
United Way Productions.

MR. HUGH DRESCHER,
United Way of America,, [sic] Alexandria, VA.

DEAR HUGH: This letter is to confirm the use of the clips from the Twisted Sister video "We're Not Gonna Take It" for your program, as long as it is for non-commercial use only. We would also like to request a final copy. Also the "super" that you provide must credit Mary Callner not Atlantic.

Best Regards,

MARK PUMA.
