It is not known whether GARRISON travelled to The Hague or whether the show was taped in the United States and sent on tape to Holland.

GARRISON calm and composed, was sufficiently credi- ble to elicit rather favorable reviews from generally well-informed Dutch newspapers. Several Dutch viewers also commenetd on the credibility of his person and presnetation. It is likely that the NTS will try to sell this program to other European countries.
