250 Ellen Donaldson Los Angeles. California 90004 March 10, 1994 Ms. Barbara Ringer Acting Register of Copyrights The Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20559 Dear Ms. Ringer: This past December I was fortunate indeed to have attended the "U.S. Copyright Office Speaks" seminars in Los Angeles. I came away profoundly impressed. . .with the speakers from the Copyright Office, the complexity and analysis of the issues discussed, the clarity of the presentations. . .and with a renewed appreciation that such people make up one of the most important institutions in our country. One which affects the very foundations of our government generally. . .and which affects my family and me very specifically. At the seminars We were urged to respond to the issues under consideration in the Copyright Office... and how those issues would affect us. And so this letter. My father was Walter Donaldson (b.l891, d.l947) who wrote popular songs from 1915 to 1947... a gentle man of the "Tin Pan Alley" years, the early years of American popular music. (I have enclosed a song book for your information. )
