TL;DR

A 1958 letter from Philip G. Strong to Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner regarding correspondence from Dr. Davidson and Major Kehoe that was referred to the Air Force. The author clarifies that claims regarding 'orders' to the Panel are unfounded.

This document is a letter dated May 8, 1958, written by Philip G. Strong to Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, President of Associated Universities, Inc. The letter serves as an acknowledgment of a previous communication from Dr. Berkner dated April 21, which included enclosures concerning a Dr. Davidson. Strong explains that he had been away on a month-long trip abroad and that, prior to his departure, he had received similar correspondence from both Dr. Davidson and Major Kehoe. These matters were referred to the Air Force for appropriate action. Strong informs Dr. Berkner that he has been in contact with the relevant officers to determine the current status of the matter and to seek guidance, but he will not be able to meet with them until the following week. Consequently, he provides this interim acknowledgment and promises to write again once he has more information. Finally, Strong addresses a specific point, noting that Dr. Berkner is likely aware that the statement made by Huppelt, as quoted by Davidson, regarding 'orders' to the Panel, is entirely without foundation.

One point I might make of which you are of course well aware is that the statement made by Huppelt quoted by Davidson concerning "orders" to the Panel is completely without foundation.
