I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 2t July and to
express Mr gratification for the spirit of understanding with which
you have met the entire situation. Permit me to say too that while
the notice of cancellation mist, indeed, have seemed to you brusque,
it was not in any way so intended. My only thought at the time was
to reach you as soon as possible so as to spare you and your family
the trip to Washington which I knew you were about to undertake. I
was unable to add arq details such as would have put to rest the ques-
tions inevitably stimulated by the bare cancellation, for they were
not known to me.
You have my positive assurance that cancellation of the program
was done without prejudice to you personally or to your possible
future employment by any government agency.
I note that you consider your preparation for the program re-
mated in no tangible materials other than the outline and biblio-
graphy which, as you point out, you have already delivered to us.
However,, it is desirable that an additional body of materials be
assembled and I would ask you to proceed to gather s'aue as you have
offered to do. I would hope that without too great inconvenience
the additional materials might include your lecture notes.
I will await further details from you regarding just what you
will be able to assemble before getting authority for a specific
offer to you. I an sure the amount will be satisfactory.
I have mailed back to you the package you sent us last 30 June.
If you do not receive it promptly, please advise me so that I may
have ittraced.
In closing I wish to acknowledge again your courtesy and under-
standing and thank you for your continuing interest in our Agency
and its work.
Sincerely.,
Approved For Release 2003/04/22 1: CIA-RDP80R01731 R0018000P0018-9 STAT
