We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

March 19, 1969 Dr. Sterling MeMurrin Chairman Commission on Instructional Technology 1424 16th Street, N. W. Suite 203 Washington, D. C. 20036 Dear Dr. McMurrin: Your comments at the Western Radio-Television Assoc¬ iation meeting in Seattle on February 28 were interesting and informative. I was particularly pleased to hear you say that when the results of the study by the Commission for Instruct¬ ional Technology are available for dissemination, a multi-media approach will be used. When planning for this phase of the Commissions work, I hope you will include educational radio along with ETV and the print media. Based on the information I receive from personnel in educational radio stations (almost 400 of them across the country), interest in the Commission report is high — not only among station personnel but the general public as well. As you know, the National Educational Radio Tape Net¬ work serves as the principal distributor of educational programming. One appropriate technique would be via audio tape to member stations. Production arrangements can be accomplished with ease and the Commission report would become available to the public through a variety of media. Rex Campbell of KUED at the University of Utah can provide additional information on NERN 1 s program service. We look forward to working with the Commission staff to insure that dissemination of the final report is avail¬ able to educational radio as well as to other media. Sincerely, RAM:lkl ccs William G.
