sO as to warrant your duplicating [It for
SSB distribution. As you may know ! wil!
be seeing Clark Randt's group out here on
Oct. 1%. In passing, he reassured me that

The Institute of Blophysics (Academy of
Sciences USSR) is directed by Dr. A. M. Kuzin.
The WIH list shows a ''Committee on... the
Biology of Cosmic Flight'' headed by A. D. Sanya
Seryapin. Is this all Laika-Bloastronautics,
or are they the people we should try to

meet with, either at Mice or at Westex-5?
