== President Roosevelt's Letter == In a letter addressed to Vannevar Bush dated November 17, 1944, President Roosevelt requested his recommendations on the following points: # What can be done, consistent with military security, and with the prior ap- proval of the military authorities, to make known to the world as soon as possible the contributions which have been made during our war efort to scientifc knowledge? # With particular reference to the war of science against disease, what can be done now to organize a program for continuing in the future the work which has been done in medicine and related sciences? # What can the Government do now and in the future to aid research activities by public and private organizations? # Can an efective program be proposed for discovering and developing scientifc talent in American youth so that the continuing future of scientifc research in this country may be assured on a level comparable to what has been done during the war?
