Burlington Atomic Energy Week, 1947

Page Two 

I also enjoyed the report of Dr. Kasha's speech. Did you want this returned? What most interested me was the parallel between his thinking and that of the scientists who worked with me in the Marengo Experiment. This coincidence of thinking appears in correspondence we have been having with other leading scientists. You may be interested to know that we have undertaken a series of studies to find the consensus of opinion among American leaders as to what the public should know and why. I suppose you had the feeling when planning the Burlington week that I often have in experimenting in adult education- the feeling that this is local, isolated and so small a drop in the ocean that one even doubts the value of dropping it. That is why I am trying to find out whether general procedures are developing throughout America. 

All the best !
