      DearDr. Leopold. 
 
                Acknowledgment is made of the receipt of your letter date&d

      January 2, and the proposed Report of the Committee on 7oreig Relations

      of the Wildlife Society. 
 
                I think the report, as you have composed it, is quite good.
It 
      seems to me you have selected the two methods mest effective for promoting

      the international exchange of ideas and research findings on wildlife

      conservation, ecology and management. 
 
                7he third point suggesting that each foreign correspendent
be 
      invited to contribute for publication in the Journal, an annual commen-

      tary or review of events in his country or region, appealed to me es-

      pecially. It occurred to me also that abstracts of a few appropriate

      foreign articles might be regularly included in the Journal of Wildlife

      Management in addition to the annual reviews. This would., of course#

      bring up the problem of selecting the right type of literatureg trans-

      lating the articles and abstracting them. Perhaps the correspondents

      could assist in this work. 
 
                In point two, you apparently used by mistake, the name Ameri-

      can Wildlife Institute instead of Wildlife Management Institute. 
 
                I will be looking forward to seeing you at the San Antonio

      mesting. 
 
                                      Sincerely yours,
