~~"~/~ !) ( - ,.~ t·~ p-__ .,~ • Dear Howard: 

-· 

· I am writing again in regard to the--matter--about 'Which · we corresponded at some length last spring and summer. I wish 

to press the matter further at this time because I expect to be 

much freer to undertake the work in question than I have been 

for many years. I have given up the chairmanship here and.am 

cutting down in other ways on activities of a non-scientific · 

character. 

It is still my view, formed on the basis of .. my wartime observations 1 that there is neey reason for bringing some 

first-class mathematical talent to bear on the problans involved. 

It I could contribute something not out of line with my achievements in mathematics, I would feel remiss in not making the effort 

to do so at a time 'When the countey finds itself in a truly 

critical position. · 

Mr. Friedman asked me last year to keep in touch with 

him about consulting possibilities. Nothing has cane of this, 

though I had a letter from him the other day indicating that 

something might turn up later. This letter was in answer to a 

note I sent him. 

It is, of course, not impossib1e that there is a snag 

abou.t clear~ce •. Jlhen I received <r.ciearance for BSJD. last year, 

it was the result of an 11 months inquiry, toward the end of 

which I had to supply the Secret'll'Y of JCS with ana.lY"ses of three 

points on llhiah satisfaction was desired. I did a little work 

for wsm during the winter, and.1 on the strength of my eonsultantship there, also visited the Sandia Corporation. In view of the 

history of thils,m&tter, I can imag.ine that the same or similar 

points might have caused trouble in connection with AFSA cl.earance,, 

i.t ~.i.ng at all •s done about it during the past year. .If . you 

should leam that such is the case, I would hope that I might have 

a chance to analyse a:ny bothersome points which may have come up. 

With best regards, 

As ever,
