AFFAJR3 MEMORANDUM To: Congressman Ceirlos Moorhead From: Matt Gerson Date: July 24. 1995 cc: Jack Valenti 1 ^axius iviuurj 0^ At the July 13, 1995 hearing on H.R. 989, your bill to extend the term of copyright protection under U.S. law. the witness for the Society for Cinema Studies made a number of inaccurate statements about the commitment that the major film studios have to film preservation. I know that you have visited many of the state-of-the-art facilities that the studios have constructed to ensure that their libraries will be preserved, protected and accessible to future generations of film enthusiasts. However, I am disturbed that the record unfairly denigrates all of the work that we do. I would ask you to consider including in the hearing record the following statements that were made during a 1993 Library of Congress hearing on film preservation. The testimony was given by executives who are responsible for film preservation initiatives at many of the MPAA member companies. 1 appreciate your attention to this request.
