Dear Dr. Iederberg:

The Space Seience Board greatly appreciates your response to Chairman
Berkner's telegram of July 3, 1958, which invited your suggestions for
satellite experiments.

The co-operation and support of the scientific commnity will greatly
assist the Board in satisfying its immediate obligations to the Government.
The Board has transmitted to the several federal agencies concerned with
space sciences, a preliminary report to be used for planning purposes. In
addition, all proposals and suggestions received (as necessary copies are
available) will be considered by the appropriate Committees of the Board,
in order to form the basis for a more comprehensive Program which will be
provided to the Government at an early date.

On behalf of Dr. Berkner and the Space Science Board, I am expressing
most sincere thanks.

a yours ,

Qe,
‘Peavey, Secretary

Space Science Board
