Your Excellency: 28th Karob 1965

I am writing to ask if you will be good envugh
to arrange for the two Declarations that accompany this
letter, signed by Nobel Prizewinners from all over the
world, to be brought to the attention of His Holiness
the Pope.

These Declarations have no other purpose than
to give His Holiness evidence of the sincerity and
sense of urgency with which a large group of learned
men hope for the solution of a aost difficult and per-
plexing problen. We felt that anytaing which aight
help his Holiness in the onerous task that now faces

him would be a contribution towards that solution.

‘Te two Declarations do not differ in substance:

that signed by American prizewinners (or prizewinnerse

tesporarily in America) ia the longer.

My fellow laureates will learn with great
gratitude of your kind offices in thio matter, and on

‘their behalf as well as ay own I thank ‘you most cor-

dially for your help. a

Iam, Your Excellency,

Yours very sincerely,

Ir. Pf. &- Medawar
