PUGWASH Geneva

Dear Martin:

I am grateful to you for persevering about trying to get me to the
PUGWASH meeting next month, but I am afraid it is just out of the ques-
‘tion for this summer.

However, I ran into Joe Martin just a little while ago, and it re-
minded me to alert you to the fact that he had just retired from
ambassadorial service and would be an excellent person to keep in mind
for future PUGWASH meetings. In case you have misplaced it, his San
Francisco address is:

Mr. Joseph Martin, Jr.

Pettit, Evers & Martin

The Transamerica Building

600 Montgomery Street

San Francisco, California 94111
415-434-4000 a

I was also glad to hear that Jim Leonard is now back in government,
for the time being as Andy Young's deputy at the U.N. You may recall
that he was the chief of the delegation to the Committee on Disarmament
while they were negotiating the BW convention. He was for all intents
and purposes pushed out by the Nixon crowd, and I was delighted to see
that he has now been rehabilitated.

All the best to both of you.

Yours sincerely,.

‘Joshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
