Dear Dick:
I know of your deep interest and personal
efforts and sacrifice in the task of bringing to the
world in general an accurate and, therefore, favorable
image of our country. I realize, of course, that this
purpose is being pursued in many directions and by
many methods.
I am taking the liberty of calling your atten-
tion to one activity with which, through the Motion
Picture Industry, I have had some contact. I refer to
the Informational Media Guaranty Program. I am informed
that in the ten years of its operation through June 30, 1958,
the program has made possible the export into 18 countries
of American books, periodicals and films valued at about
$150 million retail. This means many millions of readers
of American books, magazines, newspapers, scientific and
educational materials; it means many millions of viewers
of American motion pictures.
In 1958 a Senate subcommittee which included
Senator Bill Knowland made a most laudatory appraisal of
this activity. I understand that in the ten years of its
activity this program has cost the fund - although this
money has not been completely lost - some sixteen million
dollars.
My interest in this matter is not alone from the
viewpoint of the motion picture industry which it enables
to reach the people in many more or less remote lands -
but also in its general value in giving these people a
voluntary opportunity to learn of the life, literature
and principles of our country.
