BRACERS Record Detail for 117069
To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
Szilard re-sends the copy of Weizsaecker's letter, as there was a typing error in the previously sent copy.
Adding to the reasons it might not be wise to give von Weizsaecker's group the chance to call an international meeting of scientists, Szilard adds, "Assuming that Weizsaecker's group wants to take the leadership, that does not mean that the meeting which they may wish to call must be held on the territory of West Germany; indeed, there may be strong reasons why this might be inadvisable. In this respect the situation might be quite similar to the one discussed by me in an earlier memorandum, in which I dealt with the possibility that the University of Chicago might assume the responsibility for calling a meeting outside of the United States."
Enclosed with record 117067.
