Rotblat writes regarding the Pugwash Conference in Moscow, which is to occur in April 1960, provided they receive strong representation from the U.S. He has talked with Rabinowitch who could not get enough people for April and has suggested moving the Conference to the summer.

He brings up the breakdown of negotiations on the Test Ban Agreement in Geneva."This time the disagreement was not among politicians but among scientists, on purely technical matters. I feel this is a great blow to the Pugwash Movement because we have always been claiming that the scientists can agree, at least on technical matters."

Rotblat encloses two letters for BR to sign and send (not present).
