- Summary: VIDEO LOCAL LIVE ON CAMERA TAKE FILM (SOF PRIME MINISTER WEARING CEREMONIAL COSTUME) CUT AWAYS OF SAMOA SOF JACK VAUGHN OUT CUE-VAUGHN TAKE LOCAL LIVE ON CAMERA AUDIO COMMENTATOR: WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT, BY JACK VAUGHN DIRECTOR OF THE PEACE CORPS, THAT VOLUNTEERS WILL BE SENT TO WESTERN SAMOA THIS FALL, MR. FIAME MATAAFA PRIME MINISTER OF THE NEW INDEPENDENT NATION HAD THIS TO SAY... (FIAME MATAAFA: I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE PEACE CORPS...ETC.) (JACK VAUGHN: ...WE EXPECT TO HAVE OUR FIRST VOLUNTEERS ENTER TRAINING THIS SUMMER AND TO BEGIN ARRIVING THIS FALL IN WESTERN SAMOA.) COMMENTATOR: ANYONE WISHING TO SERVE IN WESTERN SAMOA SHOULD CONTACT THE PEACE CORPS. Initials LONDON: Handout dope that came with film enclosed. This shows Prime Minister of Western Samoa - - the first independent Polynesian Nation - - announcing that his nation will get Peace Corps volunteers this fall. This is, admittedly, marginal film. But I thought perhaps some of our ASIAN CUSTOMERS unserviced from here might be interested in it. You can always throw it away, as NBC would have done here had I not grabbed it.
