Dear Professor Schiavinato

The period spent here by our colleague Orio Ciferri under the
auspices of the Stanford-Pavia grant has just ended, and as I understand
that he is going to see you soon over problems concerning the Stanford-
Pavia program, I have asked him to convey to you my thanks for having thus
far supported this extremely fruitful and important collaboration between the
Universities of Pavia and Stanford. This collaboration has already produced
a considerable number of important results. The scientific program is very
fertile and we hope that every effort will be made from the Italian side for
continuing this collaboration. Quite a number of Italian scientists from
Pavia have come to Stanford and American researchers have spent time in Pavia.
As an example, at this very moment there are five scientists from the Depart-
ment of Genetics of Pavia working here at Stanford, and two more have spent
periods of various length during the year 1971. During the same year, two
researchers from Stanford have been in Pavia, and four more will be coming
in 1972.

I have asked Professor Ciferri to convey to you personally our
gratitude for this opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

oshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
