Anne is sure the Moscow meeting will be useful. She asks BR to encourage some of the "timid Americans" to speak up against Teller.

"No one but you and Leo Szilard have been brave enough to disagree in a way that is meaningful. Teller speaks constantly—to members of congress, on radio, television, and in articles.

Until more responsible and respected figures are willing to risk being controversial, as he has, public opinion in the USA will be Teller's to do with as he sees fit."
