Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Just a note of thanks for your time and interest during my recent trip
to Stanford. I will keep you abreast of our progress. Needless to say,
if you have any suggestions, criticisms or comments at any stage

I would be delighted to receive them. As mentioned, it may be a month
or two before we pass the tax accreditation hurdle,

I do not want to appear presumptuous, but would it be possible to obtain

a copy of your C.V.? As mentioned, I plan to make an effort to persuade
the local newspaper (which is now paying for the rights to your column
anyway) to utilize it on a weekly or frequent basis. I would like to

have as much "propaganda" at my mental fingertips as possible. Not
that I feel you need it, but the "laity'"' are often moved by different
currents,

One additional question - are your speaking plans full for the.fall?

If not, would it be possible for you to give (with appropriate honorarium
of course) a talk(s) in Houston? There are a variety of forums
(medical and nonmedical) that we might consider if you were agreeable.
I would like to give you some "Texas exposure!"

Thanks for the clipping on Marjorie Shaw. I will endeavor to contact
her soon. Sometimes one learns more about people in one's own
locality from afar than when in contact -- such would seem to be the
case regarding Margie's diversity of interests!

Best wishes for a pleasant and ''cooler'' summer!

With warm regards,

LSawd

David M. Mumford, M. D.
