Dear Mr. Lederberg:

In view of your February 1 column in the Washington Post,
I believe you will be interested in the enclosed copies of two
letters recently sent to SCIENCE Magazine. The Canal Study
Commission is well aware of the importance of environmental
research in connection with its investigation and is doing every-
thing in its power to insure its accomplishment,

Sincerely,

John P, Sheff
Executive Director
