Letter from Thomas Gold to Dr John A O'Keefe, Chairman, working Group 2, IAU Commission 17, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland States that most of O'Keefe's colleagues who have responded to his attempts at creating a draft report have regarded his main purposw as misguided and his scientific arguments as unsatisfactory and bviased. Whiel Gold associates himself with that general sentiment, he also wishes to make another point. States that the immense amount of lunar scientific literature that now exists is appalling for its lack of discussion of the major concdpts, adn inter-relation of the various lines fo evidence, the answers to 'what it all means'. If O'Keefe succeeds in forcing people to return and think of overall problems he will be doing the subject a service; and if he makes people mad at him in the process they have largely themselves to blame for letting the subject and its literature drift without adequate attention to the major conclusions. 3 February 1976
