In a telephone interview of 14 October 1976, Eldon Tolman, a member of the board, said that he did not sign the letter because he did not support the candidacy of Daryl McCarty. Ten years earlier, it appeared that the UEA openly endorsed Congressman David S. King in his bid for re-election. At that time an ad appeared in the daily newspapers in which a letter written by John C. Evans, Jr. expressing gratitude on behalf of the UEA was printed. Nevertheless, the ad was paid for by a group called Parents and Teachers for King. See Deseret News, 4 November 1966, p. A-9. 66Luci11e 67Eldon G. Taylor, personal letter, 14 October 1976.
