Date. December 28, 1971 Professor Joshua Lederberg Department of Genetics, School of Medicine William F. Miller Vice President and Provost Dear Josh: I received a copy of your article in The Washington Post on July 31, 1971. I am afraid that much of what you say is not out of date. I am particularly struck by your last two para- graphs, as I indeed shared the same kind of basic “upbringing”. I do not have a very good suggestion on how to alter the current courses of action by the Federal Government. Thanks again for your note. Best regards, . am William F. Miller
