Dear Frits:

I was glad to have your letter of April 7, even if it turned out I could
not make any immediate use of it during my last trip. I was on my way to
Israel, and in fact my baggage managed to reach Tel Aviv, but without me.
At any rate, my plans were so disorganized that in the end I found it was
not possible to come back via Copenhagen as I had planned. However, be
sure that I will look for another occasion, as I am very much interested
in renewing contact with you and Ide.

Not inconceivably some time this fall may afford another opportunity.

As for my column, I thought that the Paris Times Tribune Post might carry
it, but so far they have not done so. At the present time it is available
only in Die Zeit, published in Hamburg. However, the Post is making nego-
tiations with some other newspapers and you might hear more of it in
Denmark ag a result. The most effective arrangements have been via word
of mouth to the various editors.

NASYO

Concerning the more interesting scientific issues about viral vaccines,
there is some possibility that the subject may be taken up at WHO, but the
more mi¢roblologiests take an interest in the question, the more likely there
is to be some sensible policy developed.

I am very happy to have the Dansk catalog and will make some plans at leisure
about asking to order some of the trays.

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
