Irene Flatters Me:

         a little more about the administation of the effort

                            [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

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.
 
Hope this helps,
Cynthia
