Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I am forwarding herewith a preliminary and unedited
version of our report to the Assembly Select Committee
on Environmental Quality. I understand that Al Lipson
discussed this effort with you, and you indicated your
interest.

We are under a very tight deadline insofar as pre-
paring the final report, and we hope to wrap it up this
week. We would, however, value your comments and sugges-
tions, either by mail or by telephone.’

I am sure you will understand that since the report
has not yet been presented to or reviewed by the Committee,
it is confidential, and we would appreciate your coopera-
tion in maintaining that status.

Please contact me or Al directly (916-445-8760) if
we can clarify any of the findings or recommendations of
the report, or if you wish to discuss your reaction to it.
You may be sure that your interest in assisting us is
greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

  

ae
