dc.description	Letter from Olivier A. Schaeffer (of the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the State University of New York at Stony Brook) to Edward P. Henderson (of the Smithsonian Institution). States that they did find definitive proof, via gases, that the Tishomingo meteorite is from outer space, and promises to keep that information confidential until after the stone has been purchased. Asks if it might be possible for the lab to get a portion of the Tishomingo for more experimentation.
