Cclonel Lawrence J . Tacker Office.~ of the Secretary of the Air Force Washington 25, D. C . Dear Colonel Tacker: This is in reply to your letter of 9 January. I am sure that you would agree that I could hardly afford the time to make a special trip from Chic ago to Troy for the purpose of a noon luncheon. Even were there a very handsome honorarium, I would still hesitate taking that much lj.r;n.e-.fr.om:m:y-p~ofe~ional life for these public relations purpos-es. Howe- --- ever, should it s o happen that Major Friend calls me for consultation on one of those dates, and if this requested talk were considered a part of :rrzy-consulting service, I expect it could be arranged. l J ...-;Ar;~i recollect, Troy is not too far from the base and if transpor- "':\ tation could be supplied from the base to Troy and back again to the base, I would be happy to be of service to you and to the Rotarians. am sure that you understand my position; I simply could not justify in m y ow n conscience spending that much time solely for the purpose of giving a popular talk. Sincerely yours, J.
