Dear Al:

The enclosed Invitation froa Br. Pribran stems from a number of
discussions we have been having here or the neurochemical bases of
menory. | had thought that you might be a particularly apt pare
ticlpant fron the standpolnt of your current exciting work on the
fabrication of model membranes. Judying fraa the membership which

is being accreted for these conferences, they should be of very
great Interest and 1 think they may be an excellent oppertunity for
you to develop contacts with people on various angles of the problen,
j hope you will be able to give this your sympathetic consideration.'

i am very sorry that | had to poop out of your last visit here and thus
missed a chance to taik to you about these same problens, ourselves.

Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
