The attached TWX on the subject matter from Willis Foster to
Robert Piland on July 16, 1965, has been coordinated by Mr. Liccardi

satisfies the request of your letter to me of July 16, 1965 on the
same subject.
I do not anticipate any problems in your office receiving the S- 5
70MM film, however, should you encounter any difficulties my office
will prepare additional authorization that may be deemed necessary
to expedite this matter .
