By tre INFORMATION & PUBS. Af 9 S MAR 8 Mr. Stanley Yentes Sales Service Manager National Broadcasting Company 663 Fifth Avenue New York 22, New York Dear Mr. Yentes: As you suggested in our telephone conversation a few minutes ago, 1 am following it up with this letter. Last night on Channel 5, the "Flash of Darkness" segment of MEDIC was on the air and attached to the end is a short appear- ance of Val Peterson, the former Administrator of Civil Defense. Mr. Peterson is now the Ambassador to Denmark and has not been connected with Civil Defense for several years. Leo A. Hoegh is now the Director of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization. I would like to suggest two solutions to this problem. First, we could replace the Val Peterson segment with a current Leo A. Hoegh Segment which we would be happy to film and provide prints for you. The other is to simply remove the Val Peterson segments from the prints you have in distribution, I'm sure you recognize that having the Val Peterson segment, as it is now, dates your film and makes it obsolete. We will be very happy to cooperate with you in every way to help, Wesojd. he Sincerely, \den/bjk/x444/ 38-60 re) cer nee Files (2) TEP Read File ~ 860 PA Read File ~ 820 (2) Nat S- Linden Radio-TY ~ 622.2 Directer Audio-Visual = 822 _ Audio-Visual Offi¢e Public Affairs
