Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Thank you for your immediate reply to my letter
requesting information on LSD and unborn babies,

In addition to the information, I was especially
interested in your closing sentence. "If Congress
continues to cut back on budgets for health research,
we May never have the answers to these questions."

As I am on the Harvard Medical School Committee for
Development and Resources, I am painfully aware of the
problems which have resulted from slashing the federal
budget. Medical research is in a bad way. And, it is
going to get worse before it gets better,

I would like permission to publish an edited version

of your letter. If you would like to strengthen your
closing statement, it might be very useful. May I

hear from you on this? My best wishes and my thanks.
Sincerely, pe

AL:rg
