 printed materials to interested agencies in Washington. It has al- 

 ready been mentioned that dupHcate reports were sent to more than 

 one agency unless specifically restricted. Aside from these, in which 

 the distribution was at best limited, the Board gave wide circulation 

 to certain materials prepared by its staff or by its affiliated organiza- 

 tions. These items are described briefly by sources of origin.
