Irene Flatters Me: << I have visited the NFPF Web site and I have learned a little more about the administation of the effort ...EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING: >> [seven questions snipped] Thanks for the compliment, Irene! While it's true that I know a good bit about film preservation, you may be disappointed to learn that I don't know everything. Therefore, I'm sure you will agree with me that your questions can more fruitfully be directed to the following people: Mr. Eric Schwartz, Acting Executive Director, National Film Preservation Foundation Smith and Metalitz, L.L.P. 1747 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Twelfth Floor Washington, D.C. 20006 or E-mail: [log in to unmask] Mr. Steve Leggett, Library of Congress, Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division 101 Independence Avenue, S.E. Washington, D.C. 20540-1610 or E-mail: [log in to unmask] When you contact Mr. Leggett, I am sure you will want to ask for a copy of the LOC's national film preservation plan, _Redefining Film Preservation: A National Plan_, inasmuch as I know you will agree with me that, in matters of research, it is always best to consult primary rather than secondary authorities, whenever possible.
