Washington, December 18,1941.
M y dear M r. M ellett : Th e American motion picture is one o f our most effec tive media in inform ing and entertaining our citizens. Th e motion picture must remain free insofar as national security will permit. I want no censorship of the motion picture; I want no restrictions placed thereon which will impair the use fulness o f the film other than those very necessary restrictions which the dictates o f safety make imperative.
The motion picture, especially as used by the Federal Government, has a very useful contribution to make during the war emergency. In order that the Fed eral Governments efforts in the field of motion picture production and distribu tion may serve most effectively and effi ciently, it is desirable that all activities of the Federal Government be coordi nated under the direction of one central office.
Therefore, as President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, I direct that you, as D i rector of the Office o f Government R e
ports, act as Coordinator of Government Films for the duration of the war.
The functions you will discharge in this capacity are:
1. Act as the liaison officer o f the Fed eral Government with theatrical, educa tional and industrial producers and distributors in connection with the prep aration, production, and distribution o f films.
2. Establish a clearance office through which all of the Governments civilian films must clear whether they are to be distributed through theaters or through non-theatrical organizations.
3. Plan, so fa r as necessary, such G ov ernment motion picture production and distribution as is deemed necessary to inform and instruct the public during the wartime crisis.
4. Consult with all Government depart ments in connection with film produc-
