Dear Josh:

I read with much interest your presentation at the Japanese conference.
I am enclosing a copy of the most recent report of the U.S.-Japan Coopera-
tive Medical Research Program because it details cooperative bilateral
programs between our two countries that have been in existence for many years
and cover many of the subjects mentioned by you as potentials for multila-
teral consideration. It has just been decided to add a “panel” on AIDS to
the program, beginning this year.

I do not know how the overall Japanese proposal will fare but I thought
that this document might offer some basis for further discussions in which
you might participate.

Incidentally, this is the program that both Ted Woodward and I referred to
in our discussions with the Soviets on the structure for a cooperative program.

It has been wonderfully successful scientifically and politically.

I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
