Dear Joshua,

I am so sorry you are unable to participate in the meeting of the FIBER
Science Advisory Board on June 3. I wanted you to have the materials we sent
out with invitations to a reception following the meeting for members of the
Boars and for the research investigators who will be making presentations to
the Board.

The reception is at the home of Karen Fawcett, 2468 Belmont Road, N.W.,
Washington from 5:30 PM to 8 PM. I'm pleased that Secretary Schweiker and
some of my colleagues from Capitol Hill will be among those present. This
reception is intended to introduce the work of FIBER to interested citizens
and officials in Washington. If your schedule would permit you to attend
the reception, I'd be delighted to see you there.

As you know, I helped form FIBER for the purpose of expediting and
applying biomedical research that can have a profound impact, within our
lifetime, on physical health, mental acuity and quality of life at every age.
We are at the edge of a biomedical revolution, and FIBER, I believe, is the
organization that can help to bring about the needed breakthroughs.

Of course, you will receive all materials in connection with the Science
Advisory Board meeting, including a rapporteur's summary. I appreciate your
continued interest in FIBER.

Corfially,

an Cranston
