Mr. Aldo Leopold,

Dear Mr. Leopold; 
 
 
                   I have sent a copy of the 
conference resolutions to Mr. Harkin and it 
SSGms to me that there would be no harm in 
writing him about the rabbit study even 
if it were not possible to go into full 
detail.     I think he is quite familiar with 
the intent of the resolution. 
 
 
                   Paul Redington has already 
called for a copy of it sO that I presume 
he is proceeding under the recommendation 
that provision be made for this study under 
the McSweeney act. 
 
 
                         Yurs very trulys
