I recommend approval and authorization to set up the terms of this exchange and other details, including a change in the period involved if this be deemed advisable upon further negotiations. Professor Geissendoerfer has been granted sabbatical leave for the second semester 1949-1950 which he is planning to spend in study and research in Europe.
