  Same here, but a quick google search always bring up McIlroy comment. If you find it, submit it on HN :) ps: there's a post on Recursion in early languages https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8073361 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8073361 that mentions McCarthy indirect influence on the ALGOL comitee, but nothing else.
