APPENDIX "Cc" UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION . WASHINGTON 25, D. C. October 29, 1953 Honorable Val Peterson Administrator Federal Civil Defense Administration | Washington 25, D. C. ES Dear Mr. Peterson; This is in reply to your letter of October/5 confirming our recent conversation as to the possibility of showing a "sanitized' version of a film on field experimentation in the Pacific to the Mayors' conference sponsored by the White House on December 14 and 15. As you know, we are trying very hard to complete the necessary reviews and coordination both within the Commission and with other agencies, which are pre-requisite to a public showing. At present, the film is essentially in draft form and we cannot state, with any firmness, that the short time interval will permit us to put the film in shape suitable for this conference, However, please be assured of our best efforts to accomplish this. Sincerely yours, /s/ Lewis L. Strauss Chairman - 10 - oo Appendix "c"
