Approved For Release 2003/05/05 : CIA-RDP80B01676R00070016QOO 4 Shortly after returning from Europe, I was asked by United Press International to write a short article on religion as I had observed it in Russia. I delayed doing this for two reasons; first, because of my illness and second, I did not want to make any statement or write anything that would hinder in any way the President's opportunity for im- proved relations with the Russian Government. I have now had an opportunity to set down these few thoughts. Could I impose on you to read this and give me your judgment as to whether or not I should consider releasing it for publication. Thanks kindly. I hope I am not imposing on you unduly. Sincerely yours, Hon. Allen W.
