Dear Professor Lederberg,

The undersigned, and Miriam (Mrs. S.) Roland, who I believe

is known to you, are members of the Adult Education Committee
of the Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal. Our Congre-
gation, which has a membership of about 1600 families, this
year marks its 135th Anniversary and a number of events are
planned to celebrate this occasion.

At a recent meeting of the Adult Education Committee it was
suggested that our programs in addition to Judaica, should
include topics in the political and scientific field in which
the Saverage" erudite person has an interest and needs author-
itative guidance. At this point,Genetic Engineering was
mentioned as a very *tdmélytopic. Mrs. Roland and I were
assigned the task of implementing this proposal.

Would you consider giving a lecture in our community hall on
this subject to which the general public would be invited?

A suggested title is: Genetic Engineering
Fiction,Fact and Future
or .
Fancy, Fact and Future

Of course any title you would prefer would be acceptable.

Should this proposal find favour with you, we have two dates
from which you may choose - Wed. May 13, 1981 or Wed. May 27,
1981,

We will, of course, assume the expenses of yourself and your
wife should she choose to come. A modest honorarium is also
available although I cannot, at this time, say what this would
be. Perhaps you might have a suggestion.

May I hope that you will find it possible to accept this invit-
