Burhop writes that at a recent editorial meeting for the World Federation of Scientific Workers he was asked to write an account for their journal, Scientific World, regarding Joliot-Curie's role and the World Federation's early attempts at international meetings of scientists to discuss nuclear weapons, leading up to Pugwash.

Burhop encloses this account (TD(X), 16 s.) and asks for BR's permission to include two paragraphs of correspondence between BR and Joliot-Curie (record 117510).
