MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
SUBJECT : Rockefeller Award
1. This memorandum is for your information only.
DD/S 66-6566
14 DEC 1966
2. Because we have had a number of nominees but no successful
candidates for the Rockefeller Award, I suggested and you agreed that
we try to talk to someone in the administration of the Rockefeller Awards
Program to obtain some guidance as to future nominations. We found that.
Mr. Knoche is acquainted with Mr. van de Velde and will take the earliest
convenient opportunity to discuss the subject with him. Attached is Mr.
Echols' memorandum, dated 8 December 1966, which explains the plan.

on very friendly, although not intimate, terms with Mr. van de Velde. Miss

the Rockefeller Award. Mr. Knoche readily agreed to take this matter up
with Mr. van de Velde at the earliest convenient opportunity.

placed it in suspense for a follow-up with Mr. Knoche about 15 February
1967. The results of his discussion will, of course, be reported to you.
