Dear Leonard:

Thank you for your letter of July 12 and bringing me up-to-date
on the progress of your international scientific committee. I am
sorry to learn you have gotten such a runaround at D.0.E. but I do
hope that you may have better luck in the next few months.

I have not had time as yet to go over the documents you have
included; and my schedule is sufficiently hectic that I thought I had
better acknowledge the spirit of the letter and defer, to when I can,
a more detailed reply. I will be spending the next few weeks closing
up, moving, and getting settled in;and I did not want to take the
chance of loosing the thread of our communication.

I am certainly just as enthusiastic as ever about the possibility
of a congenial location for your committee's staff work and will
certainly do all that I can to look about for a location on the
University campus,if there is anyway that can be arranged. If anything
the deferral in your own timing may make it a little easier to locate
possible opportunities.

If there are any further programatic developments on your side
I certainly hope to hear from you; otherwise the initiative should
be for me to respond with any comments that I may have on the draft
that you sent me.
Yours sincerely,
J@&shua Lederberg
JL/ge.
