Dear Mr. Lindsay:

I face the ‘honor! indicated on the attached with some ambivalence
and ask your help in aqpiring some of the data that may help me decide
how to respond.

By no means would I press you to make any new remark on your ex-
perience with the University of California; and I have too much respect
for your busy life to ask more than a mechanical favor, if you happen
to be in a position to offer it, namely--

to let me have copies or references on news reports concerning
the Regents' (non)-action in awarding you an honorary degree

editorial comment on the same

any comment you may already have made yourself. so

oe

In any event be assured that I do not ask you to share responsibility
with me in any fashion in this matter; but I would be grateful for the

information I ask.
Yours sincerely,
jos Lederberg ‘
