American League in the same enthusiastic and profitable manner as the
National League was accepted, and,
WHEREAS, the City of Downey is located strategically in the heart
of Los Angeles Metropolitan area, and particularly in the center of the
Southeast area to be surrounded by freeways which will provide accesi-
bility to the location of the American League in the City of Downey, and,
WHEREAS, the City of Downey with a historical background emanating
from California's Civil War Governor John Gately Downey is a community
large enough to give the personal support to generate additional enthusiasm
for American League baseball in this area. Many civic organizations and
citizens have indicated their support of the American League through popular
vote of resolutions which we feel is a sincere indication of the "political
atmosphere" of the community of Downey in extending a personal invitation
to the American League to locate within our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE
that the City officially extend an invitation to the officials of the
American League to locate within the City of Downey.
