The newsletter includes the outline of "a plan adopted by the University of Alabama to further develop instructional, research and service programs of the present Huntsville operations as integral parts of the University." The first point of the plan notes, "Effective September 1, 1966, the Huntsville operations of the University of Alabama shall be designated the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH)." The plan is signed by Frank A. Rose, president of the University of Alabama.
The release states, "Almost half of the increase results from a 21,000-volume build-up of the Huntsville stock." It also includes details about other system libraries.
