The sheet of paper enclosed with your letter is a copy of a page from the Peace Corps News Digest, an internal Peace Corps document issued periodically by the Office of Public Affairs to inform staff members of the news coverage that the Peace Corps has been receiving throughout the country. The Office of Public Affairs originated the draft of the article on that sheet entitled Language Not Peace Corps' Hangup, and arranged for its distri- bution to the press through a commercial media service. Within the Peace Corps organizational structure, the Office of Public Affairs is responsible for assuring that the American public is informed of the programs, problems, needs, and accom- plishments of the Peace Corps. The activities of this Office are under the direction of the Director of Public Affairs, who serves as the Peace Corps' spokesman, and whose assigned duties involve the preparation and dissemination of information con- cerning the Peace Corps and its people, both in the United States and overseas. Informational material originating within the Peace Corps is distributed primarily through representatives of the news media including the press, radio, television, and periodicals. The actual method followed in distributing the material is determined based on the subject matter and the size of the de- sired audience, and may be in the form of a press release, an informal briefing, a news conference, or a written response to an individual press inquiry. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
