facilitate all industry and the public having copies of FElR-14 available 

 for review and study, all requests from public libraries for a reasonable 

 number of copies will be filled. 



You will note from the attached distribution plan that, in most cases, 

 copies sent by the Washington Office will be transmitted by personal 

 letters signed by the Chief or others. We suggest this personal- type 

 handling by Regions and Stations to secure maximum attention on the part 

 of officials receiving FRR-14. 



Regions and Stations should take steps to insure delivery of FRR-14 to 

 field offices so they will be received on or shortly after March 31. We 

 feel it very important that Supervisors, Rangers and Work Center Leaders 

 have copies as soon after the public announcement as possible so that 

 they will not be at a disadvantage in discussing the Report. 



We realize that the initial bulk shipment of FRR-14 made to you direct 

 from GPO will not, in all cases, meet your requirements. This may be 

 especially true regarding Stations, as they have now been assigned respon- 

 sibility for sending copies to College and University Presidents. Please 

 appraise your additional needs in view of the distribution scheme attached 

 and the number of copies already shipped you (shown on I6eE No. 58-20). 

 Then advise us , keeping in mind the need for limiting distribution to es- 

 sential outlets. Also, advise us of any distribution problems where we 

 may help. 



In addition to the complete Report we are having the summary and other 

 sections reprinted as "separates" for free distribution by the Forest 

 Service. These are scheduled to be off the presses about May 1. Supplies 

 will be furnished field offices for free distribution to organizations and 

 individuals, and may be offered in lieu of FRR-14. A popular publication 

 replacing "People and Timber" is also in preparation; probable release 

 date -- June 1. We will advise you by a follow-up letter regarding the 

 number of separates that will be printed and our distribution plan for 

 these and the popular pamphlet. 



Very truly yours, 



CLINT DAVIS, Director 



Division of Information & Education

Note: We plan to send you additional copies of this letter on March 27 

 for distribution to Rangers and Work Center Leaders so that they 

 will be aware of the complete scheme of distribution.
