On Medlock's complaints about Ralph Schoenman in her letter of August 17: "I have been involved in many incidents concerning Ralph <Schoenman> which have led me repeatedly to consider whether the work could be done without him or whether speaking to him would be enough."

"I know of no case in which he has put forward a policy in my name which I have not initiated or to which I have not agreed."

"My own belief is that there are felt to be two grounds of objection to Ralph: the first, his policy; the second, his manners and manner. ... Ralph's political excellence and energy seem to me invaluable and I cannot resist the conclusion that much of the criticism of him should be replaced by apologies for inactivity."
