Dear ady:
dorewith your new dft card.
This is quite a world we Live i As ii yesterday were not enough,
Shrub has just informed me he heard a news flash that China has detonated
their atomic bomb. Of course they have no means of deLivering it yet and!t
think that this may be some yers ahead. it ever exweiS f ' surreptltbus

The Jenkins' thing I thought would orete much more furor thin it

even then, ii P eaident Johnson did not know about it, there ts the problem of
security risks.
Russia looks mostt like an crdiny trisitisa of povrer tnm thie hoed
of the Farty tota hisucn'sss in tho same school it thought, but maybe it is too
early to tell et, and I will be fascinated to ttnd whether they knew about the
Chinese explosion before hand adid got rid of Khrushchev on that account or if
they lea'xd about It with the rest at the world, Ia which event I am confident
it will have a moderating influence or any insurgence of Russian intransigence
to the West.
Keep working hard and we are lkng forward to seeing you in a few
weeks.
Devotedly,
Mr. Marion Lee Kmpner
