PRESIDENT

Dr. David R. Lide, Jr.

Chairman

CIS Steering Committee

United States Department of Commerce
National Bureau of Standards
Washington, D. C. 20234

Dear Dr. Lide:

This is to respond to your letter of February 29th
inviting me to serve on the Scientific Advisory Board for
CIS. I am happy to accept this invitation, recognizing
many estimable colleagues on the proposed membership of
the Board, and hope that we can find times to meet that
don't pose impossible schedule conflicts.

I was pleased at your suggestion that much of the
business of the Board be conducted by telephone and mail
but would hope that you could find means to extend this
further to “eugraphy: If no other way could be found I
suspect we could make interim arrangements via Sumex at
Stanford to hold the mail boxes, especially since CIS is
so closely akin to other major researth projects supported
at the Sumex facility.

Yous sincere

yr" Lederberg /
