in consideration of having a portion of my expenses iu connection therewith paid by

Which is hereby acknowledged, do hereby specifically agree as follows:

articles for scientific journals but that any popular-type non-technical articles 
which I may write cannot be released for publication until two months after the first 
popular and official account of the Expedition appears in the National Geographic 
Magazine. 
2. That I will not enter into any arrangement with any publication, news 
gathering or disseminating agency, radio broadcasting or television company, or 
anyone else, to release news or information concerning the Expedition, without the 
written approval of the National Geographic Society. 
3. That in any newspaper account or other publicity, or in any popular or 
technical articles which may be published on the Expedition under the terms of this 
agreement, I will take all necessary steps to insure that proper acknowledgment 
is given to the National Geographic Society as a cosponsor. 
4. That the National Geographic Society is to have "first refusal" of any 
photographs which I may make on the Expedition, and no personal pictures may be 
released for publication until two months after release of the issue of the National 
Geographic Magazine containing the story of the Expedition. 
5. That any pictures selected by the Society for its use and/or files will 
be paid for at regular rates. Duplicates of any such picture, or pictures, selected 
by the Society will be sent to me two months after publication of the story of the 
Expedition in the National Geographic Magazine. 
6. I also agree that, because of the foregoing considerations, for my own 
account I specifically release the National Geographic Society from any responsi- 
bility for loss or damage to my personal property arising out of, or connected with, 
or in any manner pertaining to the Expedition, or the preparations therefor.
