Selected Restricted NASA Videotapes

SELECTED RESTRICTED NASA VIDEOTAPES
By Michael Ravnitzky ,

The following is a selected list of Restricted NASA Videotapes, drawn from a
complete list I received from NASA last week.

The tapes are restricted for a variety of reasons, many of which are
highlighted below.

YOU CAN ASK FOR ANY OF THESE VIDEOTAPES FROM NASA-Johnson Space Flight
Center in Houston (address listed below) by requesting them and mentioning
the Freedom of Information Act in your letter.

A complete copy of the NASA List of Restricted Films will be posted on the
internet sometime soon * keep an eye out for it in the usual places, or use
a search engine after February 10, 2004 to locate it on the web. Or if you
are impatient, you can ask NASA Johnson for a copy of the complete list.

This is a very subjective selection * you may wish to look at the complete
listing when it appears. Note that I have omitted items that are restricted
due to copyright limitations.
