Dear Dr. Pauling,

Upon returning from a trip to Europe, I have learned of the
harasment to which you have been submitted by the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee.

As one of the original signatories of your fallout at-ptement in
1957, I am proud of the fact that I helped circulate it for
signatures at the University of Illinois.  I only regret th t in
the few days then available we collected only about 30 signatures;
many more persons would have signed, I am sure, had they been
approached.

While I am in complete sympathy with your position with regard to
%he questions asked by the Senate Subcommittee, you should feel free
to use nqy name as you see fit in connection with the signing and
circulating of the &tement.

With kindest regards,

Sincerely yours,

sel/na
