Finding Not asserted
Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 111 (Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Army Signal Corps), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage.
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.

National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569695 / Local Identifier 111-TV-430 Big Picture: People to People DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer. Today THE BIG PICTURE looks at one of America's not-so-secret weapons. No scientists or engineers are studying the blueprints on it. It will never come off the assembly line or be fired from a launching pad. But the range and power of this weapon is tremendous even though about all the equipment it needs is a smile and a heart. Our Armed Forces -- with a sizable portion of its strength stationed at overseas areas -- is ideally situated to play a major role in the job of winning friends for America. Using post-war Germany as an example, THE BIG PICTURE shows the individual serviceman and his foreign allies cementing international comradeship on a "people to people" basis. A game of baseball, an invitation to Sunday dinner, a visit to the local orphanage produces a bond of goodwill between countries that is impossible to measure. The way American GIs overseas look at it, the artificial barriers separating people from people are continually being swept aside by one of our most powerful weapons -- friendship.
