No source located in a dedicated search confirms or denies that the 1978 ICM memorandum 'The Situation in Soviet Mathematics' names Pontryagin individually

A research pass following question-verify-1978-icm-memorandum-names-pontryagin-as-boycott-target attempted direct retrieval of the memorandum "The Situation in Soviet Mathematics" — reportedly distributed in 500 copies at the 1978 Helsinki ICM and later, per one secondary account, published in Notices of the American Mathematical Society — through three routes. A Cornell University Library finding aid confirms a folder titled "The Situation in Soviet Mathematics notes and correspondence, 1978" exists in the Eugene Dynkin papers (Box 29, Folder 8), but the finding aid carries no scope note describing its contents. Direct fetches of the AMS's own full-issue PDFs for the three 1978 Notices issues published after the August 1978 ICM (October, November, December) plus the January 1979 issue, each checked for its table of contents and "Letters to the Editor" section, found no article or letter under this title or subject in any of the four. Web search for the memo's text, its fifteen signers, or any scholarly publication of Slava Gerovitch's underlying research came up empty.

Four issues is not an exhaustive search of the 1978–1979 Notices run, and the memo may sit in an issue not yet checked, under a different heading, or may have appeared only in Science as a related lecture abstract claims. The gap is a limit of this search, not a disconfirmation. It stands alongside, and does not resolve, the question's own open third item on whether any confirmed naming connects to Pontryagin's control-theory reception specifically — see claim-no-source-links-pontryagin-antisemitism-to-western-reception-of-control-theory-work.
