In your communication you mention the possibility of carrying out some classified work on improvement of processing double-base propellants, in connection with the national defense effort, and ask as to my viewpoints.
I do not see how you can avoid doing work of this sort; it seems to me to be clearly your duty, in view of you experience. Also, despite the policy of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering about carrying on fundamental research, which would remain unclassified, I feel that the circumstances necessitate serious consideration of your proposal. I think that the time has come when an exception to the policy will have to be made, as it was made during the period of World War II.
There is only one point on which I would like to have assurance: that the work that is proposed is the most valuable work that you, with your ability, training, and experience, and Dean Lacey could undertake.
