Dear Professor Timekov,

Thank you very much for the letter of 4pril 28th. I am clad
that you and Prof.Zhdanev might participete in a closed
discussion on problems of space miscroblolegy, and I have
suggested to Professor Lederberg that he might get in teuch
with you to exmlair his genersl voints of view.

I greatiy avpreciate your kindhess in saying that your colieca-ues
will be glad te have participants innthe tour to Leningrad and

Mescow visit their institutions and laboratories, 4 formal request

to your foreign office has been made vy the Swedish ambacsador

in Mescew, and I hepe that in due course we will receive

suggestions of places that would be suitable to visit. The best

thing woubd be if you could have somebody prepare a list of the
laboratories (with a very brief description of their activities)

so thot the participants could state their preference before the trip.
This ia being arranged by RESO in cellaboration with Intourist,

Sincerely yours,

Cc onGe Hedén
