Dear Mac:
Thank you very much for your letter of May 5
regarding Oppiel: suggestion for getting me to work
as painlessly as possible. I have thought about it
a great deal sinee he spoke with me and have had some
S.
discussion regarding it. Hovever, the matter contin-
the
ues to be too nebulous in my mind to get any real
D.S.
conclusions -- even tentative ones -- and perhaps
this letter, of which I an sending a copy to Oppie,
will help me to clarify my problems and elicit some
help from you two.
In your note you reasure me that in selecting those
who might work with me I could count on any not selected
understanding and not feeling hurt. You also state
your preference for a written record, which would be
mine.
These two points, which some might think were
details which could be worked out as we went along,
seem to me important because they point up the central
problem of what I vould be trying to do. Perhaps in
thinking about them in that connection ve might find
the way to answer both these questions and the
larger problem. Because, clearly, the question who
should be selected cannot be sensibly answered until
we know for what purpose the selection is being made;
and also the matter of whether there should be a writ-
ten record, in turn, depends upon the further question
of what the record is to be about.
It seems to me that there are two main approaches
which might be taken; although in practice the actual
course might be any one of a number of variations or
combinations of either or both.
