PS:

| will be very happy to attend COSPAR next

January if a suitable program for exobiology can

be worked out. As mentioned before, this might
well include Urey and Calvin -- Urey to review
present evidence of planetary life; Calvin to do
his own plans for |R-spectrometry on probes. |
might collect current ideas on detectors for.
landing experiments, and the general significance
for biology of these studies.

If the Group on Experiments (vice CETEX) is
convening, | would be happy to discuss decontami-
nation with them; | doubt if this should be a
main topic as such for the general meeting.

As goes without saying, every effort should
be made to encourage a counterpart represantation
pn this topic from the Russians.
