Dear Dr. Lederberg: S

I am writing to update you on current events regarding FIBER, the FIBER
staff and the National Council on the Aging Inc.

As you know FIBER and NCOA have been working out an ongoing relationship.
We have made progress and are ready to begin the transition to a new situation
as of October lst. At that time NCOA has agreed to take on administrative
responsibility for FIBER. We are grateful that we will be under their fine
administrative capacity as well as being included in their fundraising and
programmatic plans. FIBER and the FIBER Board of Directors will continue to
be responsible for raising the funds to support the FIBER scientific program,

I believe that this is a logical time for me to move on. While I will
always maintain my interest in FIBER's mandate, the new arrangement allows
me to take the time to be more involved with other issues that have long been
of concern to me. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you
and to have been involved with this fine organization. I have learned a great
deal and I hope that I have been able to make a contribution to the ability
of FIBER to carry on its important work.

Also as of October lst Joyce Fordham will be moving on. NCOA is able to
absorb Joyce's many responsibilities and we only hope that they will be able
to maintain the quality service she has provided to us.

Bill Regelson will continue to serve as FIBER's Scientific Director and
will work closely with Jack Ossofsky, NCOA's Executive Director, in fundraising
and program development.

We are pleased that FIBER will continue its individual identity and I am
sure it will benefit greatly by its close association with NCOA. We hope you
will not only continue your commitment and involvement but will keep in close
touch with FIBER at the address and phone that we acquired when we moved to
NCOA's building (once again it is 600 Maryland Avenue, S.W., West Wing 100,
Washington, D.C. 20024, 479-1200 x365).

Again, I wish you and FIBER the best of luck and I hope that we can keep
in touch.

Best regards.
Cordially,

Yio en
