My dear Senator: 
 
            Reference is made to your letter of December 20th 
arnd the ecl osures to and from Aldo Leopold, 
 
            Like you, I am very desirous that Aldo visit at 
least some of the units and preferably all of then if it is 
at all possible. Unfortunately, there may be some difficulty 
in making contacts with the men or seeing some of the work 
since his available time naturally coincides with the 
vacation period at the schools. However, this in itself may 
be a very desirable feature if we can make arrangements far 
enough in advance, since the men if available may have more 
time to spend with Aldo. 
 
            As you recall the budget calls for $500.00 travel 
money for the Technical Committee. This was to provide for 
Aldo's travel in connection with the units. The budget does 
not of course allow for any salary and from his letter I wonder 
if there is not some compensation involved with the Chautauqua 
offer. 
 
 
you allows 
during the 
 
 
Mzg 
 
 
The apportionment sheet which has been mailed to 
for travel of the Technical Committee principally 
summer months. 
 
 
Sincerely yours,
