Correspondence regarding Mr. Davidson and the Robertson Panel

This document is a letter dated May 20, 1958, from Philip G. Strong of the OSI to Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, President of Associated Universities, Incorporated. The letter serves as an update to a previous communication from May 8 regarding an individual identified as Mr. Davidson. Strong notes that Mr. Davidson has continued to initiate correspondence, which Strong characterizes as 'keeping the pot boiling.' The document references an exchange of correspondence between Mr. Davidson and Bob Robertson. Strong informs Dr. Berkner that he is writing to other panel members—Alvarez, Goudsmit, and Page—to provide them with copies of the Robertson/Davidson exchange. Strong expresses concern that the panel members' continued engagement with Mr. Davidson is counterproductive, stating that a 'solid front' between the panel members and Davidson will discourage him, as he is taking up too much of their time and effort. Strong concludes by advising that in instances where they must correspond directly with Mr. Davidson, the standard reply should be to acknowledge receipt of his queries and inform him that they have been forwarded to the Air Force for appropriate action.
