In this letter Pauling reiterates requests for permission to discuss and publish on the oxygen meter, and argues for loosening security classification. He cites Arnold O. Beckman's permission to discuss the project before the American Chemical Society as a sign that the oxygen meter is no longer considered a matter of national security.
