PRESIDENT

Senator Jacob K. Javits
110 East 45th Street
New York, New York 10017

Dear Jack:

I was indeed so delighted to see that you did
manage to make it to my installation and I am doubly
gratified now at your initiative in arranging to put
these remarks in the Record. I trust there would be
no inconvenience in holding them up for a few weeks
since the Senate has recessed and this will give me
a decent opportunity just to touch up some of the ex-
temporaneous. part. of my remarks so.that. they. make. sense .
in print. The minor indisposition of my shoulder, that
was evidenced by a sling, turns out to be a torn tendon
and that will take me just about that length of time for
a convalescence after the more or less minor surgery
that was involved.

I really am very pleased to be able to reconnect
with you in just this way on my return to New York; and
I hope that any way that I can be of assistance to you
you will not hesitate to tell me. .

Yours sincerely,

JoShua Lederberg
