Dear Dr. Lederberg:
Enclosed is a clipping which may interest you --- if you
have not yet seen it. It is from Izvestia and quotes one of

your columns in the Washington Post,

The pertinent part, indicated in penciled brackets, be-
gins as follows: "The scientific observer of the ‘Washington
Post' Lederberg writes of the possible breakup of NATO and
other regicnal defense organizations’ as a result of military

use of atomic weapons",

Sincerely yours,
