BR thanks him for his letter and encloses the following message:

“Albert Schweitzer is one of the few who have devoted their lives to the service of man. The range of his achievements and the importance of his personal example mark him as a leader of our time who will be remembered. Dr. Schweitzer’s warnings about the dangers of nuclear preparations and the readiness to engage in wars of annihilation are a great service. It is a pleasure to greet this noble young man on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday."
