I am not particularly excited ebout Keene's material, but at the same time,
it does represent a point of view which I believe is deserving of attention,
Later on in the Fall, I shall again canvass the situation insofar as members
of the committee are concerned, see how many have seen fit to reply to
Keene, and try to arrive et a summation of opinion of the committee in
regard to it. At any rate, the criticism was written constructively, and

it seems to me that we should give the case consideration.

I didn't know whether this material you sent me was a file copy. If it is,
I will be glad to return it. If not, I will be glad to keep it, Kindly
let me know what your wish is. Probably a copy of it should go forward to
Keene because I think it has some bearing on his contention. However, if
copies are scarce, I will be glad to send him mine, providing you allow.
me to keep it, because he is a most meticulous cuss, and I am sure he will
give it careful attention and return it.

With personal regards and trusting that the Summer treats you not too un=
kindly in the way of hot weather, I am

Sincerely yours

FAR:McG Chairman
