Lederberg, Ph.D. Department of Genetics Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford University Medical Center Stanford, California 94305 Dear Doctor Lederberg: Thank you for the letter of recommendation fo As you no doubt understand, the letter is entirely a bureaucratic need and is really unrelated to the fact that we know and are delighted that we are getting a truly outstanding individual to take on a tough job. We are expecting Norm to arrive this weekend and I am sure that NICHD will be entering an intellectual and resource growth phase. Thank you again for your help. : Sincerely, Robert S. Sto Director a
