Rohde 30 Apple Tree Lane Barrington, Rhode Island 02806 Dear Mrs. Rohde: Thank you for your letter of April 17. Coincidentally, Dr. William B. Greenough, III, Chief of Infectious Diseases Division of Johns Hopkins University, called at my office at the same moment that your letter was delivered. Dr. Greenough told my staff that he was a close friend of your son, Jon, and the reason he called at my office was to advise me of the tragic conditions in Pakistan. My staff showed your letter to Dr. Greenough and he endorsed your son's comments and conclusions. I merely want to tell you that I will do everything I can in opposition to the inhuman treatment and oppression of the Bengalis. I have been contacted by Senator Case concerning his concurrent resolution to stop arms shipments to Pakistan and I expect to co-sponsor this resolution. I am also awaiting advice from Senator Harris concerning his proposal and I am keeping your letter and your son's memorandum as well as the material provided to me by Dr. Greenough available for use when the Senate takes these resolutions under consideration. I am in complete sympathy with your views and thank you for sharing your son's observations with me. Sincerely yours, Sd/John O. Pastore United States Senator
