Eaton expresses his delight at Philip Noel-Baker, an associate at the Third Pugwash Conference, winning the 1959 Nobel Peace Prize.

"You will recall the brilliant 'Memorandum on Disarmament' that Noel-Baker presented at Kitzbuhel. The views that he expressed there clearly reflect the courageous thinking that lead to the Nobel Prize."

Eaton notes that the Pugwash committee might consider issuing a statement regarding this, and is sending the same letter to the other members of the committee, "... and shall look forward to learning what the consensus is."
