...relation of dependence between the letter and the Statement on "The Rights and Responsibilities of Universities and their Faculties," issued unanimously by the Association of American Universities, on March 30, 1953. I do not, for a moment, question the good intentions of the forty- three Presidents who signed that document. And yet their renunciation of the obligations of intellectual leadership which they owe to the nation, their desertion, in time of trial, of scholars and teachers whom, through years of association, they had found worthy of trust, is one of the most disastrous actions in the history of American education...

By leading Randall on, he got both a diluted report and the freedom to attack it as if it were an uncompromising free-trading document. Early last week he wrote Businessman Randall a 3,500-word letter that amounted to a sweeping repudiation of the report. He craftily plucked at the report's weaknesses and dealt Randall a studied insult, as he observed that tariff revisions are made by the Senate Finance Committee, not the Randall commission...
