That a venture of such historic significance could be carried forward with the exceedingly high proportion of successful measurements could hardly have been hoped for before the event itself. I am, of course, aware that remarkable results de not derive from chance and good luck, but fron the months and years of intense work that you and your staff have been devoting to these problems. It was a great satiafaction to me personally to heve had sore small part in this sost important scientific effort, tha implications of which only future decades will reveal. Sincerely yours, BEST COPY AVAILABLE Jom C.
