Dear Lederberg:

As you know, I am most appreciative of your recent letter,
touching upon the man-in-space situation. You will be pleased
to know that a very sensible position, in accordance with your
views, was presented to the PSAC by Berkner.

Moreover, this position is reflected in the written paper

submitted to PSAC, copies of which will be in the hands of Board
members in a day or two.

With kindest personal regards,

Sincerely’ yours,
