Dear Professor Lederberg:

I have followed your weekly column in the Washington Post with
great interest. Especially instructive have been your discussions
of genetic engineering and the problem of relating scientific
knowledge to public policy.

Recently, a colleague mentioned an article that you wrote
earlier this year on mongolism with the suggestion of a:inew term,
“metahuman"®, I auldn't find this article in my back Posts, Hence,

I was wondering if you might have a copy and/or reprints of articles
that explicate this concept more fully.

Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated,

Sincerely rows
