Dear Bob :

We have finally returned from the wars to home base . The trip back was a bit wearisome and accomplished under considerab le tension since

.... . .... IIU: ••• -.- .. - ... ..-.. -. -.

my youngster developed a splendid case of tonsillitis which d r ove his temperature to 103 and better. A.s you can imagine this can be quite trying, but fortunately we found a Doctor who promptly shot the little lad in that well known area with penicillin. This did the j ob and he is now as chirpy as a squirrel .

Please accept my thanks, Bob, for your unstinting assistance and help during my stay in Dayton.

I have not as yet had an opportunity to discuss w1.th Mr . Karth the results of my trip, but I am certain t hat previous decisions have not been changed . Today the Chairman confirmed his previous decision that no hearings will be held on UFOS during thi s session of Congress a nd no specific date can be o r wi ll be set f or next year . For this I am s ure both you and I breathe a deep sigh of relief. However, as you can imagine , the "plantiffs' have begun their clamor, stimulated by notices in the press o f our committee ' s interest in UFOs .

If anything new develops I shall let you know.
