cious offer to exchange SOU

that it is a sounder and hap
pier relationship when we
keep to the objective. and
send only magazines. and re-
ceive no presents from the
recipients Of the magazines.
The project began in 1859
when I saw, in southeast
Asia. the flood Of free Soviet
magazines printed in Eng

were scarce and expensive.
Then I decided that the
magazines we throw away
every day had a job to do.
I wrote to a newspaper in

contact with Americans who
would send them used maga
zines. We expected about so
requests and we received over
$500.
AS the project has grown,
we have needed more, and
more offers Of magazines.
With the generous support Of
communications media, the

taking down your denial, I
wonder whether I should lead
the story off with Harlan
