	Peikoff's Experience with the Library of Congress
		Some time in the 1960s, I believe, the Library of Congress invited Ayn Rand to will the manuscripts of her novels to them.
		Influenced by her initial positive reaction, I wrote the Library, in answer to their persistent inquiries, that I would donate the papers "in due course." But influenced also by her later negative reaction and indecision, I told the Library at the same time that I could not commit to any specific date.
		The Library, he states, did not care about this omission and, he adds, the official with whom he dealt made disparaging remarks about Ayn Rand as a writer.
