Memo: to 1965 - Electors of the Hall of Fame for
Great Americans.

From: E. L. Tatum (Ph.D., Wisconsin)

I am enclosing herewith a copy of the statement
in support of Dr. Welch which was signed by a number of
Nobel Laureates and submitted to the Electors in 1960,
probably after many had already voted.

Before the enclosed statement had been prepared,
Several other Nobel Laureates in New York City had al-
ready endorsed Dr. Welch's candidacy in 1960. These
included: A. Cournand, V. DuVigneaud, H. Gasser,

F. Lipmann, 0. Loewy, S. Ochoa, and D. W. Richards.

This material is being sent you in the hope that
you will act favorably on Dr. Welch's candidacy at this
time.
