Dear Josh:

Good for you. Your letter on the science advisor was
courageous, truthful, and directly on point. I'm sure it was not
popular among all your colleagues.

Some years ago I was a token social scientist on a National
Academy of Sciences panel headed by Jim Killian that was
attempting to revive PSAC. Having tried to argue your point about
the constraints upon those who seek to speak truth to power, I
applaud your forthright statement of the point.

Congratulations.

Warm regards,

Graham Allison
