Dear Friend,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For the last fifteen years, the United States Department of
|
|||
|
|
Agriculture's 1942 film, "Hemp For Victory", was given to every facet
|
|||
|
|
of the,media (newspapers, magazines, TV, etc.) by the California
|
|||
|
|
Marijuana Initiative, the Oregon Marijuana Initiative, NORML, etc., as
|
|||
|
|
part of our proof of hemp's history and the incredible potential for
|
|||
|
|
mass-producing hemp by harvesting it mechanically (see "Popular
|
|||
|
|
Mechanics" Feb. 1938 article, "New Billion DOllar Crop", enclosed).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And for the last fifteen years the USDA, its library, and the Library
|
|||
|
|
of Congress have told or written the media and all other interested
|
|||
|
|
parties (e.g., see enclosed letter to Jim Evans) that no such movie
|
|||
|
|
was *ever* made by the USDA or any branch of the US government.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In May of 1989, Maria Farrow, Carl Packard, and myself, Jack Herer,
|
|||
|
|
were in Washington D.C., going through the Library of Congress' motion
|
|||
|
|
picture and filmstrips records, and the records at the USDA library at
|
|||
|
|
Bettsville, Maryland. After being told by their librarians that it
|
|||
|
|
simply couldn't have disappeared form the card catalogs, files and
|
|||
|
|
electronic searches of all our major libraries if the US government
|
|||
|
|
had indeed made it, we looked until we were beat, and we quit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then we decided to try once more at the Library of Congress. We asked
|
|||
|
|
for the film catalogs of thirty to fourty years ago, and after all
|
|||
|
|
those government searches denying its existence, we found it! (See
|
|||
|
|
enclosed certification from the Library of Congress) We donated two
|
|||
|
|
VHS copies of "HFV" into the Library of Congress, and they were
|
|||
|
|
accpeted on May 19, 1989.
