    Public Affairs Station KPFK 3729 Cahuenga Blvd., West North Hollywood, CA 9I604 29 April, 1977 F. H. C. Crick Ferkauf Foundation Visiting Professor Salk Institute P. 0. Box 1809 San Diego, CA 92112 ^ Dear Professor Crick: I am a member of the faculty at California State University, Northridge, which is how I came to know of your visit there. I am writing, however, as a volunteer programmer and a coordinator of science programming here at station KPFK. The station is non-commercial and is supported through the subscriptions of' approximately 14,000 listener-sponsors in Southern California. It could not survive without the assistance of volunteers like myself; on the other hand, listener sponsorship offers the opportunity of presenting material that the commercial media li/S^her would not use at all, or would destroy by frequent commercial interruptions. What I would like to do is to secure a taped copy of your talk from the University and schedule it for broadcast. I want to play the complete talk, and as much of the question-and-answer session as a one-hour time slot permits. The only editing I would do would be to remove extraneous material that is related to the school rather than the talk, such as might be in the introduction» to your talk by Steve Oppenheimer, for example. The specific purpose of my letter is to request permission to broadcast your talk as indicated above. Dr. Ken Jones at CSUN has informed me that you have released the talk for classroom use, but not beyond that. My hope is to broadcast the talk on two occasions, involving, say, an evening of one day and an afternoon of a different day. There would be absolutely no commercial aspect at all. I hope you are favorable to my proposal for broadcast of your talk. I have included an envelope for your convenience in replying. Very truly yours, Albert L. Huebner , ^ V
