Dear Sir : 



The Committee on tlie Anthropology of Oceania of tlie National Research 

 Council is assembling the names and addresses of scientists, business men, 

 missionaries, and travelers who have had first-hand acquaintance with the 

 islands of the Pacific and who might be able to supply agencies of the United 

 States government with information of value. These names and addresses are 

 compiled, classified by areas and islands, and distributed in monthly mimeo- 

 graphed installments to interested governmental agencies, enabling them to 

 communicate at a moment's notice with those individuals best qualified to give 

 them needed advice or information on matters of pressing importance. 



The Committee also intends to assemble from these informants, and to collate, 

 certain standardized data of a practical character, for submission to the same 

 governmental agencies. 



Your name has been submitted to the Committee as that of a person who 

 might possess useful information on the Pacific. If you are willing to cooperate, 

 will you kindly fill out and return the enclosed blank. It is probably unnecessary 

 to point out the need is URGENT ; the United States is at war in the Pacific.
