One eighth of the letter has been torn off; the rest is very worn.

Le Ghait thanks BR for having read his paper and replying to it so promptly.

He provides some of his own insights, stating: "I realize that in a war in which many bombs were exploded the problem of fall out would have a global importance and that India, for instance, could be as much affected as the belligerents." He feels unilateral local "'denuclearisations'" are not hopeless.

He requests an appointment with BR, even if for a few minutes, proposing around June 15.
