    Dr. Lloyd H. Reyerson

    2280 Folwell Street

    St. Paul, Minnesota

    Dear Lloyd:

    I was surely pleased to receive your letter of 1 January and to know that you approved of my performance on the TV show "Youth Wants To Know."

    I found the experience of appearing on the show very interesting. I had not known what the questions were that the boys and girls who participated would ask me. The show was kinescoped three days before, and I was pleased to see that there had been no editing whatever - it appeared over the air exactly as recorded.

    My wife joins me in sending best wishes to you for the New Year.

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:W
