Dear Jim:
I am speaking for Jim Shepley‘3s well as mySF
wnen i say that we certainly appreciate your gi
us a fair break on the hydrogen bomb release, Affer
our conversation this afternoon I checked with o
lab experts about the problem of reducing black
white motion picture film to stills, I learned
tne most productive way for us to do this is to %
able to work from the negative of the black and
film. From this -~ negative of the entire film
released -=- we would surely be able to turn out
informative story.
Once again, many thanks and best regards.
Sincerely,
rRST
