BR thanks Rotblat for his letter of 12 June and its enclosures.

He thanks Rotblat for his kind words about BR in History of the Pugwash Movement and could not find any errors. BR encloses a copy of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, though with Infeld's reservations (not present).

Concerning Burhop's Pugwash history, be writes, "I was not very well informed, at the time, about the W.F.S.W. At first, I feared that it would absorb an undue amount of energy, time and money.

It was partly as a result of Joliot-Curie's insistence on procedure by conferences that I came round to supporting this method. When Burhop says I welcomed support from the W.F.S.W., he ought to have said that I welcomed support from individual members of it. I am sorry that I failed to point this out to Burhop."

BR writes that his statement about Macmillan and Kennedy being worse than Hitler "... occurred in an extempore peroration to a speech at Birmingham. I had written out the whole speech, and read it, except the peroration. I enclose the two Birmingham speeches as well as what I said in peroration to the second as far as memory serves. The speech is being published in a pamphlet and this is how the peroration will be worded."
