Dear Dr. Richards:
I have just written to Dr. Vannevar Bush that I accept with pleasure appointment to your Committee, to serve as a member of a Special Consultant Panel. I am very happy to be able to be of service in this way, and I thank you for thinking of me.
It turns out that it is convenient for me to go to the San Francisco Bay Region next week. I am planning to leave Pasadena on the morning of Thursday, July 15. This will give me an opportunity to learn something about the OMR contracts in the Northern California region, and I am writing to ask that, if it is convenient, you send to me by air mail a list of titles of these contracts and the names of the Investigators. I am planning to go to Stanford University, the Stanford Medical School, the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.
It is possible that I could meet with Drs. Bloomfield and Naffziger in order to discuss the duties and responsibilities of the Panel. If such a meeting does take place, perhaps on July 20, we would profit greatly by having your advice and instructions.
I am not planning to come to Washington again for some months, but I am looking forward to seeing you when the time comes.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling

Dear Tom:
I have at least succeeded in arranging to be away for a few days, and I am looking forward to seeing you. My wife and I are going to take the Coast Daylight to San Jose on Thursday, July 15, and then go on to Palo Alto. I am planning to spend Friday looking around at Stanford, and then to come up to your Clinic on Saturday, assuming that this will be a satisfactory time for you. Our plans thereafter are indefinite; we may go over to Berkeley, and return to Pasadena on Tuesday.
Your report on Knox's calcium gelatinate reached me yesterday. I am looking forward to have a chance to talk with you about the blood substitute problem.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
