We respectfully request permission to publish

entitled In Deflecting Hurricanes, Where Do We Aim Them?
which appeared in the Post on May 16.

 

 

In conformance with your policy, we are enclosing
also a recent issue of our magazine for your review.
(The Washington Post does appear on our press list,
however, to get the magazine every month.)

Thank you very much.

I am very happy to extend this permission, (which I have
the authority to do.) May I ask, however, that you add the
lines marked on She attached copy, which unfortunately did
not appear in some editions, and which I believe are needed
for a balanced view of the problem,

My best regards to Mr. Streit

Sinverely,
