Correspondence between H. Marshall Chadwell and Dr. H. P. Robertson regarding Panel report

This document consists of two pieces of correspondence between H. Marshall Chadwell and Dr. H. P. Robertson, dated January 1953. The first letter, written by Chadwell on January 28, 1953, acknowledges receipt of a letter from Robertson and confirms that a copy of a 'Panel report' is being processed with concurrence and recommendations. Chadwell notes that a 'rump Panel meeting' is not expected the following week, but he hopes to meet with Robertson on February 6, 1953, to discuss official action. He also mentions that a memo from 'Fred' has been delayed. The second document is a letter from Robertson to Chadwell, dated January 20, 1953. In this letter, Robertson discusses the composition of the panel, noting that members were not handpicked by him, with the exception of Thornton. He mentions a meeting with General Sanford at the 'P-gon' (Pentagon). Robertson requests that a draft be sent to him at the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He also outlines a schedule for an NSA group meeting on February 5, 1953, and suggests that a meeting with the 'rump Panel' could occur on February 6 or 7, 1953, to accommodate Sam Goudsmit and others. The letter concludes with a personal note to Mary and Peggy regarding a social gathering.
