Rotblat writes that he's just returned from France, where a Pugwash committee meeting was held, and hopes to send BR the minutes from the meeting in the next few days.

He has received a number of replies, and acceptances to the Pugwash Conference, with the exception of the British delegates, which Rotblat believes is "... (possibly because of their participation in a secret government committee)". The main problem they are encountering with the Conference is financial support though, "... the committee has decided to ask Eaton whether he will sponsor this conference. I am particularly glad about this decision, since there has been a marked tendency, among some members of the committee, to cut ourselves off completely from Eaton. They in fact went so far as to suggest that we should drop the name Pugwash altogether."

Rotblat asks if he may visit BR next week.
