Kristol was executive director of the American Committee for Cultural Freedom. He asks BR if he would submit something for a new international periodical, Encounter, e.g. a review of Karl Loewith's Heidegger, Denker in Duerftiger Zeit. Kristol shares his concern over BR's May letter (see record 70209): "You seem to be under the impression that there have been actions by the committee of which you might not approve. I am in a position to state quite definitely that your apprehensions are unfounded."

[Letter is printed on British Society for Cultural Freedom letterhead, presumably because Kristol was in London at the time.]
