Dear Sir: 



This letter furnishes policy guidelines for free distribution and gives 

 details of the distribution plan for Forest Resource Report No. 14, 

 TIMBER RESOURCES FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE. Related to this are I&E circular 

 letters Nos. 58-20 and 58-22. 



Demands for free copies of FRR-14 will be heavy. A total of 10,000 copies 

 were printed for free distribution by the Forest Service. Free distribu- 

 tion as outlined in this letter will require about 7,000 copies. Because 

 this is an expensive and highly technical report, and because the supply 

 is limited, some controls on free distribution must be employed. 



Copies of the complete Report, FRR-14, TIMBER RESOURCES FOR AMERICA'S 

 FUTURE, may be purchased at $7.00 per copy from the Superintendent of 

 Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D, C, on or after 

 March 31. The complete Repott was printed only in bound, buckram cover 

 for both free and sale distribution. 



The basic guide for free distribution of FRR-14 provides for furnishing 

 the Report to Government and non-profit educational and conservation 

 organizations and their officials, libraries, industry trade associations 

 and others as shown on attached list. Free distribution will not be made 

 to individual forest industries and officials (except as noted below), 

 banks, investment houses and similar groups. Replies to requests from 

 these sources should explain that the Report can be purchased from the 

 Superintendent of Documents and call attention to the availability of 

 free "separates" mentioned in the last paragraph. 



The exception to the above, as related to forest industry, will be the 

 free distribution outlined on the attached list. This provides copies to 

 forest industry trade associations, both national and regional, members 

 of the National TRR Advisory Committee and similar regional advisory 

 groups who actively participated in developing TRR findings. To further
