DS, one page, 8 x 10.5, March 17, 1952. Official "Record of Emergency Data for the Armed Forces of the United States," listing his wife, Mary, and his children, Pat and Barbara, as the people to be notified in case of emergency, signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint. Bound inside an "Officer's Qualification Record Jacket," along with a carbon copy of his Bureau of Naval Personnel "Annual Qualifications Questionnaire" from 1949, listing his position as "Director-Producer," and making note of his experience: "Combat photography, photographing live action in preparation for film to be prepared ashore, preparation of pictures for propaganda or military effect. I was instrumental in establishing procedure of naval and military photography during the late war, as head of Field Photo Branch OSS. The first combat film 'Battle of Midway' personally shot by me set the pace for all similar films. Being more than anxious to return to active duty in case of an emergency, I am sure I would be of value to the effort with my knowledge of motion pictures." The bottom of this document bears a carbon copy signature. In fine condition, with a tear to one of the filing holes at the top.
