Rotblat thanks BR for passing along the letter he received from Eaton. Rotblat got a similar letter from Eaton himself.

Regarding what Pugwash can do, Rotblat writes, "One is to protest and condemn U.S. aggression. Most of us are, of course, opposed to the U.S. method in Vietnam and many of us do protest in other capacities.... Condemnation will not lead to a quick solution and after all, this is the most important problem at the moment. There remains, therefore, the second possibility and that is to have private discussions between scientists from the different countries involved and who have the respect of their governments."
