  2 December 1963

  Professor Arne Tiselius

  Institute of Biochemistry

  University of Uppsala

  Uppsala, Sweden

  Dear Arnold:

  I have talked with Szent-Gyorgyi about the American Nobel Memorial Foundation, and have also written to him, suggesting that he withdraw from the organization.

  I have had the interesting experience that my letter to Mr. Ferrand in New York was returned undelivered. I judge that he has changed his address, and I shall accordingly not have an answer back from him before setting off for Oslo.

  Ava Helen and I hope that we shall see you when we are in Stockholm, but it now turns out that we shall be there for only two days, 18 to 20 December, and shall not have time to visit Uppsala.

  The assassination of President Kennedy was indeed a tragic event. It occurred just as I was writing a brief statement about him, in relation to the bomb-test-ban treaty, as part of my Nobel Lecture. Ava Helen and I had great hopes for President Kennedy during his second term - political considerations make it more difficult for a president to be effective during his first term than during his second term. However, he will no doubt go down in history because of his having achieved the test ban treaty.

  We feel that President Johnson may turn out to be good. He has shown good judgment in the past, and he may be an excellent president.

  Cordially,

  Linus Pauling:kpc
