Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I appreciate your letter of January 26th and thoroughly
understand the dangers of terminating grant supports from the
National Institute of Health for graduate students in biomedical
research. In my opinion, this type of research as well as other
types which are supported by other departments of the government
at Stanford University are essential to the future well-being of
the country.

I agree with your point of view and will Support it to
the best of my ability.

With all good wishes, I am
Yours sincerely, a

Charles S. Gubser
Member of Congress
