Nirenberg, Marshall W.
Anfinsen requests Nirenberg's support for an effort to defend the international treaty outlawing biological weapons. The treaty is reported to be threatened "not by some small signatory nation openly violating its provisions, but as a result of recently stepped-up military interest at home and abroad in biomedical technologies and their chemical and biological potential." Anfinsen urges Nirenberg to sign a pledge, included with the letter, against military use of biological research at home and abroad.
