Abstract

The memorandum to you of April 20, 1972, from Peter V. Norden and Sidney W. Hess on “Change of Slate for TIMS 1972 Election” stated, “Russell L. Ackoff, nominated as a candidate for the Office of President Elect of TIMS for the 1972--73 term ... has withdrawn his candidacy for personal reasons.” This is not true. But I can understand the reasons for explaining my withdrawal in this way. It puts the matter to rest. I withdrew because the officers of TIMS would not permit circulation of my platform for office with the ballot.Reproduced below is the relevant letter which I sent to Peter Norden after the Nominating Committee, which he chaired, was kind enough to nominate me.
