My dear Weden-

Thank you for your note of Nov. 18.

I will reply further about bi control.
Meanwhile, I have a few further suggestions
about possible backup names for Nobel 14.

I am also writing today to Nilsson to in-
dicate my formal acceptance of the Foundation's
invitation to participate in N/14.

Sincerely,

’

f
P.S. Please seni me any bibliographic material
you nay develop at SIPRI on Be.

Do you have reprints of your Ann eb Hicr.
article?

At the instant, I feel the most positive
step that could be taken would be a UN statement
that distinguished by from all other weaponry,

. and decaared any use of BW an assault against
the safety of the species that would elicit

sanctions from the world comnun#ty. This is
part of the present British proposals.

I an afraid both the Xussians and the US
will find ways to entangle this with CW and
with other political issues.

The greatest danger I see now is an escala-
tion of BY capability <->defense amonz smaller
countries, of course largely under the impetus
of the work in major powers.
