0:00   Harry S. Truman and Ben Gradus discussing the Harry S. Truman Library. Mr. Gradus poses questions to which Mr. Truman responds. Mr. Truman is discussing the monetary worth of the Harry S. Truman Library.
0:30   What kinds of people come to the Library? Students visit and ask questions. The student’s questions are more intelligent than questions from press conferences because they want information and reporters want headlines.
1:15   Other types of visitors? All kinds; officials of states, cities, counties, and U. S. government officials like the Postmaster General and the Attorney General. Foreign students? (answer cut off) Clock chimes in background. Research in this film was probably used for episode 17.
