July 24, 1961 Dear Hale: Blabby, This is just a note to thank you for sending along the reading matter. You're Hale quite right: there is no lack of it these days, 1 but every extra bit helps in the general process of keeping informed. The DeCourcy Digest I have long known and, although it occasionally includes an enlightening item or two, the difficulty is that there is no way to make an independent cross-check for accuracy. As for Heads Up -- this one is brand new to me, and I can only say that it seems to be rather "far out". These X "save the world" publications evidently breed like proverbial rabbits, and they all sound as copy Heads if they came off the same mimeograph machine! Up With every good wish, Digees Sincerely, on Mr. Hale R. Bixby 50 Chumasero Drive CALLOB San Francisco 27, California Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
