- Letter from Barry Commoner to LP, RE: Commoner thinks that LP should wait until the current excitement about satellites has quieted before releasing his new announcement. The AAAS has spent much of the year working through the question of fallout and the continuation of testing. Commoner thinks that LP's new announcement will emphasize the common interests of all scientists regardless of nationality in respect to these issues. Commoner is also enclosing two clippings which may interest LP; one is from the Post Dispatch and the other is from Ed's speech to the Physical Society in St. Louis.
