In reference to our telephone conversation ot 3 1964, please find attached hereto the pranised price of meteorite stone It has a degree of hax dness ot 6-8 contains quartz and 1n a pulverized state can be utilized as a sa:tet7 coating against Xrays a.nd other radiation I em convinced that the examination of this specimen couJ.d lead to an interesting result, especiallY in view of the fact that the world's best research facilities are at your disposal. ITaould you have an interest in other materials, I can also make these available to you. I personally em not in possession of these meteor stones; however, I can act as the go-between to procure them. Translated 'ty: Victor E. Seyen, Jr. Technical Support Directorate (MDFC) Deputy for Foreign Technology AFB, New Mexico 25 September 1964 Respecttully yours,
