GkOSs, LR THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY 1230 YORK AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10021 November 16, 1978 JOSHUA LEDERBERG PRESIDENT Dr. Paul R. Gross Director Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543 Dear Paul: I was certainly glad to get the ball rolling with respect to a base for the laboratory workshops on the biology of the organisms involved in "The Great Neglected Diseases of Mankind". I am sure you will hear shortly from Ken Warren of The Rockefeller Foundation as the next step in follow-up. In our conversation you said something about the course that Fred Bang teaches and I wonder if you have any material that would elaborate on its content. Finally, please let me renew the suggestion that you drop by here sometime at your convenience when you are in the city to talk over a number | of matters likely to be of common interest. Yourg sincerely, cc: Dr. Kenneth Warren Encl.
