Rotblat encloses a copy of the letter the Pugwash committee sent to the newspapers (record 117257), though The Times has refused to publish it, which, according to Rotblat, is because they wanted to have an exclusive on the letter.

"At the last meeting of the Pugwash committee, we decided to invite Sir Edward Bullard to serve on the Pugwash committee. Bullard was the Head of the British Delegates at the Geneva Conference of Experts last June and, as such, he will bring a touch of respectability to our committee, as far as the establishment here is concerned."
