Dear Mr. Schi-al:

In November,1972 we were infor=ed of the discontinuing of leasing of our Pu-239 and we applied for an outright grant of the material. We are not in a position to pay for the approximately 70 grams of Pu-239 and yet we would like to continue to use this source. We havc. not heard anything further from the AEC in regards to granting the material. We would appreciate any clarification of this situation that you could pro-vide.

I have examined the source as you suggested and everything see=s to be in order.

Yours truly, w, -
