To the Editor:

To the extent that Mr. Daly’s anger (“‘Not for the Public,'” 8/24) comes from our admittedly blunt answer, I apologize.

The response, however, remains the same: We do not share copies of complete presentations, unless the recipient is another museum or known researcher in the field. This is standard policy for nearly all museums and derives from the ethics and legalities of copyright law.
