Stanford, Califomia

My dear Professor Lederberg:

Sincerest thanks for your very splendid response to our
Subcommittee inquiry.

It provided so mich food for thought on so many phases
that it would be hara to attempt to comment on even the principal
constructive points which you raised.

I do, however, single out for note your very important
observations on the present unfortunate exclusion of education
facilities from U. g. research aid.

Right now we are in the process of working out various

amendments to the Hill Bill in order to assure its greatest possible
effectiveness. .

Congratulations on your very eloquent acceptance address
at the Nobel Ceremony in Stockholm.

I hope to be in touch with some of your collaborators as
time permits.

that you would like to share with the Subcommittee ag regards some
of the future ramifications of your own and other genetic studies.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely,

 

HHH/a Subcommittee Chairman
