Dear Howard—

This piece on CBR could be used for the Science &Man column for Sept.
25, but that would interrupt a series on the pill so, if agreeable, I
would prefer to submit it as an extra mid-week item, available any time
from Sept. 20 on. Please let} me know which you decide to do. oe

If you do have a chance to call me back, I might then insert any last
minute corrections, if any that might be needed. But don't let that pos-
sibility impede the prompest use¢ of the piece. Frankly I would prefer
to see it come out about Wednesday, on my personal motive to maintain
@ non=transient interest in the question.

This does not belong in the same semi-jocular category as my suggestion
about exporting Fort Knox to a European depository. I guess my thoughts
on this don't thoroughly jibe with the Post's editorial policy; but if isé-

lationsim is what the ed-writer is worried about, I guess depositing the'

gold abroad would be an even firmer commitment againat that!

Sincerely,

| Soshua Lederberg.
