Full title: "Memorandum Submitted to U Thant by Bertrand Russell Re: Balancing Committee 6.7.1962".

BR suggests the formation of a Balancing Committee composed of members of uncommitted nations who would investigate "... matters in debate between East and West as they arise, with a view to suggesting compromise solutions which both sides could accept without loss of face."

The draft is in Schoenman's hand, but reads as if it was dictated by BR.

Also present are four copies of the document, two TS and two TS(CAR).

One of the TS is an intermediate stage of the document.
