TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Dr Frank Press, Department of Earth Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Date23 June 1975
DescriptionConcerning correspndence he has had with Levsky in the USSR, who shares interests in the lunar field. States Gold's views are disliked in NASA circles, because they disturb the 'comfortable agreement' between theory and observation that has been achieved by everyone else, that they are now trying to abandon all NASA support for lunar work at Cornell. He is quite clear now that this is being done by people who have strong objections to having theri basic viewpoint challenged.

This is what he wanted to discuss at the NAS in April, but they had no opportunity. This is of course a very urgent matter now, in view of the NASA attitude to their line of work.
