Dear 14r. Payne;
Thank you for your letter of August 4 with which
you returned the Saturn vet Post article along with
to other copies of the same article. It was certainly thought-
ful of you to obtain these extra copies for me, since the one I
loaned you was the only on ; still in nay possession.
I enjoyed our talk and your very effective pres
tation of the nature of your interest in possibly doing it series
'eased on the work of the iLgency or its predecessor, the G. S* S*
_-o far I have not found a way to overcome the very serious
difficulties I see In such a series, particularly as related to
our work in the C. 1. -,-. As I explained to you. I am of course
quite cognizant of the public relations angle of this inattter
and I shall continue to study it.
E incerely,
