Dear Dr. Lederberg,

At the "Colloquium on Benefit-Risk Relationships
for Decision Making" held in Washington the end of April,
Chauncey Starr read a letter from you in which you made
a monetary estimate ($100, I believe) for the biological
hazard of one man-rem of radiation exposure.

I would very much appreciate receiving a copy
of this letter so that I might reference it in a paper I am

now writing.

Sincerely,

Harry J, Otway
