Dear Senator Ready:
Rainbow Family gatherings bring with them many concerns. Those attending will come from all walks of life. Some will be professionals, others will be dropouts and some will simply be curiosity seekers. Their dress and activities are reminiscent of the flower children and hippies of the Sixties. Their Gatherings bring large crowds, nudity, come drug use and heavy traffic to remote and rural areas. They will exhibit values that are different than those found in the areas where they gather.
I am enclosing information related to this year's National Rainbow Family Gathering. Together with this Letter, I hope you will have a better understanding and a fair perspective on this Gathering.
Sincerely,
Y. ROBERT IWAMOTO
District Ranger
