SUBCOMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AID EXPENDITURES
(PURSUANT TO &. RES. 58, 89TH CONGRESS)

July 9, 1965

Dr. E. L. Tatun
The Rockefeller Institute
New York, N. Y. 10021

Dear Dr. Tatum:

My Legislative Assistant, Herb Beaser, tells me he
was able to reach you this morning and that you share my belief
that the hearing with the U. S. Nobel Laureates in Science must
be a success. I learned last night that I would have to fly to
Alaska Tuesday evening, July 13. Therefore, the scheduled July
14 hearing with the U. S. Nobel Laureates will have to be re-
scheduled. :

I regret that this unexpected change in plans occurred,
but I am sure you can understand how such things happen. There-
fore, if anything positive ‘has developed by the time this letter
arrives, I suggest that we continue with the project bearing in
mind that the hearings can be held at a later date that is con-
venient to you and your colleagues. .

_ Public opinion is snowballing and the letters being
sent to Members of Congress indicate that throughout America
men and women do want birth control information available to
them upon request. I think the prestige of your group would
add immeasurably to the hearings, and I hope we can meet later
this summer. ,

Your leadership in coordinating this difficult assign-
ment is appreciated by the Subcommittee on Foreign Aid Expendi-
tures of the Senate Government Operations Committee.

With best wishes, I am
Cordially yours,
