30 July 1963

Mrs. Elna Poppe

Øvre Slottsgate 2

Oslo, Norway

Dear Mrs. Poppe,

My wife and I were happy to receive a note congratulating us on our fortieth wedding anniversary, from you and Director Jahn. This was a very pleasant day for us.

Now I cannot refrain from writing you, not only to thank you and Director Jahn for your congratulations to us, but also to tell you how happy we are, as you doubt are also, that the three great nuclear powers have finally formulated a bomb-test agreement. We feel almost certain that the treaty will be ratified by the Senate of the United States, and that many other nations will subscribe to it.

The problem now is that of the Chinese Peoples Republic. I do not think that there is any chance that China will sign the bomb-test agreement unless she is made a member nation of the United Nations, and given a seat on the Security Council. There is going to be a long struggle ahead before further international agreements are made that will permit us to feel safe.

President Kennedy's address to the people of the United States gave us pleasure, also, because he had included in his address many statements closely similar to those that we have been making during recent years.

My wife joins me in sending best regards to you and Director Jahn.

Sincerely,

Linus Pauling:hpg
