(See W. D. Bulletin No. 5, 1944 and W. D. Circular No. 128, 1944.) Before materials published by any private or public agency including those listed below are used for off-duty discussion, commanding officers should satisfy themselves that the materials comply with A.G.O. letter [A.G. 014.35 (28 Apr 44) WD-MB-M] dated 27 April 1944, subject: Restrictions in new "Federal Voting Law" on dissemination to members of the armed forces of political argument or political propaganda.

Magazines are a rich source of reference material for discussion. Because they are commonly available, among the more useful for this purpose are The Readers' Digest, Newsweek, Time, Life, and Fortune. The first four are included in the Unit Sets of Magazines distributed to oversea commands.

Reference pamphlets that will be useful to discussion leaders are distributed by a large number of publishers. They can readily be secured for groups within the continental United States. Some of the publishing organizations are given in the list below. The list is annotated with information about the character of pamphlets put out by each distributor, prices, and addresses from which pamphlets can be purchased out pf library funds or other funds available to the leader.
