THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

August 2, 1961

Dear Dr. Lederberg:

As you already know, our Space Science Panel met
Monday here in Washington. We regret that you were unable
to attend this meeting. If I may be permitted to generalize,
I would say that the day was profitably spent in getting the
panel members up-to-date on the NASA plans for space science,
and in attempting to delineate appropriate problem areas for
the panel to explore further at a later date. You will probably
receive in the near future some information from Don Hornig
on the questions that arose and how we propose to direct our
efforts.

In the meantime, we have tentatively established the
date of October 18 for our next meeting and would appreciate
your holding this date open if possible. Should there be any
change or further development, I will keep you informed,

Sincerely yours,

Deeea

Douglas R. Lord
