               Navy Videos                                                            
               Petitioner has remained involved with the U.S. Navy since he           
          retired in 1960.  He regularly attends Navy reunions and has                
          stayed in touch with U.S. Naval Academy classmates and with                 
          shipmates.  Petitioner is an active member of the U.S. Naval                
          Academy Alumni Association.  As a result of his lifelong personal           
          interest in the Navy, petitioner has made videotapes about the              
          Navy and his experiences.  For example, he made a videotape about           
          his 1935 graduating class of the U.S. Naval Academy and a                   
          videotape about the U.S.S. Minneapolis, which he showed at a                
          reunion of the personnel of the U.S.S. Minneapolis.  Petitioner             
          has given some of his Navy videotapes to such places as the                 
          Department of the Navy, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the Hoover              
          Institution.  Table 2 summarizes these videotapes.

               1.   Captain K.G. Schacht Video - This video covers                    
                    Captain K.G. Schacht’s experiences in a Japanese                  
                    prisoner-of-war camp during World War II.  Captain                
                    Schacht was one of petitioner’s classmates at the                 
                    Naval Academy.  As of the trial date, petitioner                  
                    had not yet completed the video and had not sold                  
                    any copies.                                                       
               2.   Shakedown Cruise U.S.S. Minneapolis - This video                  
                    covers the U.S.S. Minneapolis’ maiden voyage in                   
                    1934.  Petitioner was on this ship from 1935-1937,                
                    after having been graduated from the Naval Academy                
                    in 1935.  Petitioner sold four copies for a total                 
                    of $80.  Petitioner received inquiries about the                  
                    video after it was mentioned in an alumni                         
                    newsletter for the U.S.S. Minneapolis.
