Dear Phil:

Joshua Lederberg has asked me to forward "to the best point
of application within the Sierra Club" the enclosed copies
of his column entitled "Consumer Should be on Par with Labor
and Industry,'' and the associated item entitled “Comments on
Consumer Organization for Class Action."

You will note on page 2 of his "Comments...' the sentiment that.
an “identical approach [to that which he discusses] might well be
available for actions in the area of environmental exploitation."

In view of your great personal interest in legislative, legal,
and direct-action means to implementing Club policy, you appear
to me to be the ideal "point of application."

 

I am certain that you would find it fruitful to contact Dr. Lederberg

personally, in order to further pursue hig ideas, and ha would be
very happy to have you do so:

Dr. Joshua Lederberg, Chairman
Department of Genetice
Stanford Medical Center
Stanford, California 94305
(phone: 321-1200, ext. 5801)
