"I RECEIVE MANY REQUESTS TO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS THAT ARE WORTHWHILE.
IT WOULD BE A PLEASURE FOR ME IF I COULD COMPLY WITH ALL OF THEM. THE SUM AND SUBSTANCE WOULD, I FEEL, BE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING TO DO-THE SUBJECT MATTER YOU OUTLINE IS ONE THAT IS OF DEEP CONCERN TO ME AND ONE TO WHICH I HAVE GIVEN CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT. IT IS, THEREFORE, WITH MUCH RELUCTANCE THAT I SAY THAT THE DEMANDS UPON MY TIME, IN THE NEW ASSOCIATION I HAVE MADE HERE, ARE SUCH THAT I CANNOT REASONABLY UNDERTAKE AT THIS TIME EVEN ONE MORE RESPONSIBILITY. I HOPE I MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW AT LEAST SOME OF THE SERIES. THE PARTIAL LIST OF THOSE PARTICIPATING IS IMPRESSIVE, INDEED, AND I AM CERTAIN THE WISDOM THEY HAVE TO SHARE WITH OTHERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGES, WILL BENEFIT ALL WHO CAN BE SO EXPOSED."
