June 26, 1997 Dear Ed: My office is in receipt of your $2,500 check to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Research Fund in connection with the incident at Lambeau Field following the Packers-49ers playoff game on January 4, 1997 and the Green Bay City Attorney's subsequent decision in the matter. As we have discussed, you recognize that conduct of the type which occurred after the 49ers' playoff loss in Green Bay reflects poorly on yourself, the club and the National Football League. Such conduct cannot be condoned by this office regardless of whether it involves players, coaches or club chief executives. You as the owner of the 49ers would not tolerate this conduct if it involved any team employee. I expect you to set the example for both your front office employees and your football personnel. I am pleased that this entire affair is behind you and that any future physical encounters between the Packers and 49ers will be restricted to where they belong, i.e. the football field. Sincerely, PAUL TAGLIABUE
