I have asked him to come to see you to express to you as Secretary of the Committee of Biology and Medicine of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche our appreciation for so far having permitted the collaboration between the researchers of Pavia and Stanford. We have found this collaboration extremely fruitful and increasingly promising. We very much hope that you will continue to support this enterprise on the Italian side. I also hope that you may have the opportunity to communicate this to the President and all members of the Committee. With my best regards, Sincerely yours, Joshua Lederberg Professor of Genetics LT.
