Wolff House of Representatives Dear Mr. Wolff: In response to your letter of March 28, 1973, we have examined the information Mrs. S. H. Moss sent to you concern- ing the nee,-t- fQ~vetis-e ahevNavy .and the cost to produce and distribute to tse r os o produe Travel the World .in Song.' We interviewed officials of the Navy Recruiting Command, Recruiting Aids Department, and reviewed documents related to the program's production and distribution costs. Our examination showed that during December 1971 through September 1972, 26 discs of the program, each containing two 15-minute programs, were produced in 4 series. Between 1,275 and 1,400 copies were made each time, so approximately 5,000 albums were produced and distributed. According to Navy records, the albums cost approximately $40,000 to produce. The itemized costs shown below exclude many of the items Mrs. Moss listed, such as research, musi- cians, vocalists, arrangers, sound equipment, recording equip- ment, consultants, postproduction, engineers, and copywriters. These types of costs were not incurred because the Navy used taped music.
