- Copy of the Letter -
Letters from the Directorate of Information and others continue to reach us requesting the filming of events, and we
cannot perform any work for the following reasons:
1. The work requires the approval of the Directorate of Curricula, and the request must come through it
to be referred in turn to the Accounts Directorate to obtain its approval, as the matter requires
the expenditure of materials.
2. When contacting the requesting parties, we did not find them prepared to provide us
with the necessary materials and transportation.
3. The party requesting the work must provide us with the materials due to their unavailability with us and the
Ministry of Finance's repeated refusal to approve the expenditure.
4. Filming events is not part of the Center's work, which should be limited to filming
subjects that are useful for teaching, international exhibitions, and books. The Center
derives no benefit from filming events, in addition to not knowing the fate of the event photos.
5. The Ministry of Finance, in its letter No. 14152 dated 10/2/1963, requested the
Ministry of Education (to seek assistance from the institutions of the Ministry of Guidance for filming events).
6. There are no allocations for work outside of working hours, and it is difficult for us to force our employees to work
outside of official working hours.
7. Sending a photographer, a car, a driver, and spending materials to film events is an extravagance and a waste
of state funds.
8. Some requests sent to the Center require traveling to some governorates, and this needs
travel and overnight allowances, noting that there are audio-visual aid centers in the governorates. Please
be informed.

Some school administrations, while conducting their social activities, have begun presenting
some plays that offend the value of doctors and the medical profession and almost make
a mockery of them for the audience, which is completely inconsistent with what we aspire to in our revolutionary era -
of new construction and correct national guidance.
Therefore, we request that instructions be issued to all schools and institutes affiliated with you
