The Honorable Lewis L. Strauss)
Chairman
Atomic Energy Commission
Washington, D. C.
Thank you for your letter of 16 February
inviting me to attend the tests at Eniwetok.
As you know, I am moat anxious to attend
one of these tests and since receiving your letter I
have been talking it over with Dillon Anderson who has
the same enthusiasm as I. I have some problems with
regard to the time in view of my congressional problems
in connection with budget, new building, the Mansfield
bill, etc. It is quits possible that I might with to attend
e later tests as I am planning a trip to the
late summer, but I realise that the tests
may be over before then,
In any event, I am deeply interested and
sincerely appreciative of your invitation..
Sincerely,
Allen'*. Dulles
