Memo from To:

JOSHUA LEDERBERG Jane Olson
Degas dpe DEC 2 1970
218 /BW ms.

The cuts are entirely acceptable, and I have
incorporated them (together with a small amenda-
tion on p. 9) in the enclosed copy which may

be easier for you to handle editorially.

I will keepmin mind what you request by way of
an article on biological engineering. I happen
to think that BW is immensely more important.

Your remarks of concern about "politics'' astonish
me; I just cannot believe your tax-exemption is
at stake on the content of this document (which
is part of the record of the CCD, and as such
already stands as an objective fact of potential
interest to scientists). And if you do take
that concern so literally, you will be quite
emasculated* as far as dealing with any issues
of serious social import! But I hope to see
Dr. Haskins in due course, and will pursue the
matter in conversation with him.

Sincerely,

SLrnon~

male chauvinism).
