My dear Professor:
 
            I want to thank you for your recent letter and 
and the most interesting and important enclosure.
 
            I found this data of such import that I have 
convened a Board consisting of the head of the Bureau 
of Standards and a chosen representative of the Army 
and Navy to thoroughly investigate the possibilities 
of your suggestion regarding the element of uranium.
 
           I am glad to say that Dr. Sachs will cooperate 
and work with this Committee and I feel this is the 
most practical and effective method of dealing with 
the subject.
 
     Please accept my sincere thanks.
 
               Very sincerely yours,
 
          (signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt
 
 
 
Dr. Albert Einstein,
Old Grove Road,
