VIETNAM APO SAN FRANCISCO 96222 25X1 25X1 25,1 25X1.h epu is ot Vietnam rme orces. Saigon, Vietnam The following information is submitted to bring you up to date on the status of the Regional Force/Popular Force training film which we jointly entered into in November 1969. The raw footage and the sound tapes are back from. the United States, and are presently being safe- guarded in our JUSPAO motion picture facility. The results have been reviewed and it appears there is sufficient quality footage to produce a first-rate motion picture. .TUSPAO will make their facilities and equipment available to a civilian Vietnamese editor who-is to be contracted for as a project manager by MACCORDS. Ile will require an intensive orientation on territorial security in order to produce a credible product. Our CORDS staff of- ficers are ready to assist whoever you may determine is to.conduct this orientation. There is one area in which we need assistance. There is a need for a Vietnamese officer to work with the editor as a technical advisor. Ideally, this officer should understand and appreciate the territorial force effort, be proficient in political warfare, and understand the techniques of motion picture production. If possible, he should have had some knowledge of the original script and filming sequence. Major I meets all the requirements, and would be an appropriate choice. I you agree, tem- porary duty fo with the General Political Warfare Department might be a possible solution to this problem. Sincerely, W. E.
