Documents / FOIA release
This is a CIA letter dated 20 May 1958 from Philip C. Strong of the Office of Scientific Intelligence to Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, president of Associated Universities, Incorporated. It follows up an 8 May letter about correspondence from Leon Davidson. Strong encloses letters exchanged between Davidson and Bob Robertson and advises Berkner to answer in the same tone. He says the other panel members, Alvarez, Goudsmit and Page, are getting copies so the panel can present a solid front, and that Davidson's queries are being forwarded to the Air Force.

OSI FGStrong mb (20 May 1958) Distribution: Origin. - Addresses 1 - Assistant to the Director (Mr. Chapin) 1 - Office of Security 2 - DAD/C/SI 1 - ASD/SI 1226 33rd Street, N. U. Washington T, D. C. 20 May 1958 Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner President Associated Universities, Incorporated Suite 1750, Coliseum Tower 10 Columbus Circle New York 19, New York ## Dear Lloyds This is an addition to my letter of 8 May, concerning the one to you from Mr. Davieson, and will also reply to your 19 May letter to me. Since I wrote you on 0 May, Mr. Davidson has kept the pot boiling hard and many things have occurred. Of the most important of these is an exchange of correspondence between him and Bob Robertson. I am enclosing a copy of the two letters they exchanged and recommend strongly that you employ the general tenor of Bob's letter in your reply to Davidson. I am also writing the other three panel numbers, Alvaroz, Coudsmit, and Page, and sending then copies of the Robertson/Davidson exchange. This is being done in anticipation of their being bordered by Davidson as you and Bob have been. Settings a solid front erected between the panel members and Davidson will discourage him. He is taking far too much of all our time and effort. In those cases where we have been required to correspond directly with Davidson, our reply has been merely one of acknowledging receipt and advising him that his queries had been forwarded to the Air Force for appropriate action. Please contact me if you continue to be enrolled in this matter. Best regards. Sincerely Philip C. Strong ## Enclosures: 1. Letter to Davidson 2. Letter to Robertson
