THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY 1230 YORK AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10021 February 19, 1981 JOSHUA LEDERBERG PRESIDENT Dr. E. Lozinski 4300 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W. Apartment 610 Montreal, Canada H32Z 1K8 Dear Dr. Lozinski: I was happy to have your letter of February 9th and to hear from you and Mrs. Roland, to whom please return my fondest regards. Unfortunately, I will not be able to visit you in Mon- treal in May, but I have a suggestion for you that might be even superior. That is Dr. Ronald Cape, Chairman of the Cetus Corporation and perhaps the leading scientist-entre- preneur in the field of genetic engineering. I have counted him a close personal friend for many years, as well as a business associate, and a member of Rockefeller University Council. I also mention his name particularly as he is a native of Montreal, and for all I know, may Already be known to you or some of your friends. He is a most interesting person — in his own right and I am sure would sustain the standards of what appears to be a most exciting program on the part of your committee. urs sincerely, C oshua Lederberg mse AA fe Tre, aod
