Dear Bill:

This is just to confirm an opportunity for a
date here the afternoon of May 10th.

If you have the time, we are planning to hold a
lunch for a number of people who might be interested
in the University (and perhaps know rather less about
it than you do). At those lunches we generally have
a couple of our professors talk about some elements
of their work and I suspect you would find that en-
gagement pleasant and informative. I would be de-
lighted indeed if you could include this in the rep-
ertoire of your visit.

However, there were also a number of matters that
I wanted to take up with you quite privately; and for
that the relevant time would start at around 2:00 p.m.
So please let me know if you can be with us for lunch
that day; but more importantly if there is an hour,
between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., that we might get to-
gether here. You are probably pressed, while traveling;
so if you would like me to hop a cab to a point of your
own convenience, please just give me the nod.

My Main agenda is what we can all contrive to do
better along the lines of the Industry: University in-
terface, to which I alluded in my talk. Your extraor-
dinary range of experience on both Sides of that fence
is what I would like to tap for counsel and wisdom, as
much as any specific action that you might be in a per-
sonal position to facilitate.

Yours” sincerely,
C /

Joshua Lederberg
