Dear Kens:

I really did enjoy what was a most fruitful visit
to Woods Hole: not only because of the very positive
steps towards the organization of the laboratory course
in parasitism but the good chance it offered for us to
exchange ideas on many other important questions.

Thank you particularly for the material you had
copied out on the status of parasitology in this country.
This will be of particular help to us as we get moving
On our search for a successor to Professor Trager.

Enclosed are a few items connected with our conver-
sation:

1. The title page and ordering,information on the
Journal "Scientometrics".

2. A note about our current study for a consortial
library resource. It had occurred to us that it might be
most useful and interesting to try to convene a conference
oriented on the implications for planning, here and now,
of the emerging technologies.

3. Just a note that I am writing to Roberta Miller
at the SSRC to be sure that she makes contact with you
and arranges this same with Diana Crane.

a
4. Enclosed is also another more formal letter to

try to implement the idea we discussed of distributing
the New England Journal of Medicine.

5. Is something that I just saw in Current Comments
that you might wish to notice, and particularly to pass
on to John Bruer, in connection with the ethics of scien-
tific publication. I have seen very little indeed actu-
ally written on this subject: I think that John would
find it profitable to talk to Harriet Zuckerman at Columbia
about this matter. If I am not mistaken Beveridge's for-
midable book on scientific investigation does say something
about this (as does E.B. Wilson -- enclosed).

You Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
