"Attached is a copy of a letter which I wrote to Professor Morton Grodzins, chairman of the Department of Political Science at this university [the University of Chicago]. As you will see from this letter, I am conducting an inquiry with the possibility in mind that either this university or perhaps some other suitable university in the U.S. might assume responsibility for arranging a meeting of the kind which I describe in the memorandum and appendix which are enclosed."

Szilard asks BR if he could, briefly, provide his views on holding such a meeting.

Also attached is a list of people whom Szilard sent his "memorandum based on a meeting held on the initiative of Bertrand Russell at Pugwash, Nova Scotia, July 1957".

Enclosed with record 117044.
