Subject; Relative Genetic Safety from Atomic Radiation
Dear Dr. Lederberg:

You recently spoke at a Stanford alumni luncheon in Washington, D.C.,
dwelling on the above topic. Your material, technical, was crystal
clears you have the gift of meeting the layman at his level of understanding.

It appears that a report I now am beginning, regarding the economic
justification for nuclear power plants in Connecticut, could use, indirectly,
the atomic radiation information you presented in the above alumni talk, If
you have written such, either in brief or at length, I would appreciate a
copy or reference to where I can get a copy.

And may you soon again stimulate our Washington, D.C., Stanford
alumni group.

Yours very truly,
DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS GROUP
