Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Your participation in the breakfsst
forum on chemical and biological warfare was
very helpful to the Members of Congress and
their staff who were present.

I want you to know that I will be con-
tinuing my efforts to deal with this very
important and dangerous subject. I do hope
you will use your influence to arouse support
for H. J. Res 691, the resolution introduced
by Congressman Richard D. McCarthy and myself
for a commission to examine into the ecological
effects of the chemical warfare waged by us
in Vietnam.

With all good wishes, I am,

Sincerely,

Bax

Edward I. Koch
