We have been advised that this property is being written as —— a one-hour teleplay, looking forward to the possibility . of making this show as a pilot for a television series a called THE FBI sTORY, ~.—“——“~~~-OoweOwoOwer One can never be sure as to the type of organization that would buy this property and develop it into a series without taking into account the requirements and interests of _ your department, a Accordingly, we would like to ask you two questions.

Secondly, we would always like the opportunity of doing a series based upon the activities of the FBI based upon our Gel _¥ discussions with you, if rs so preferr “ @ SA? -
