Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Back on January 27 of this year I clipped a copy of your
column entitled "Evidence Links Poor Diet to Forever-Stunted
Minds" ~- partly because I found your comments provocative and
partly because I had just completed a story for the Agricultural
Research Magazine that seemed to fit in with the ideas you ex-
pressed,

ALWYVANAL

Since that time our Information Division hes issued
several articles and press releases on subjects included in your
colurm, In case you have not received copies, I am sending the
following items along to you, thinking they may be of interest:

Press release, issued Feb. 27 -- announces shipment of CSM
(corn=soy-milk) food blend;

Agricultural Research, March issue (p. 12) -- story on CSM;
Press release, March 6 -- describes new wheat-based blend;

Agricultural Research, May issue (p. 14) -- story on
amino acids;

Press releases dated June 19 and 20 =~ announce research grants
to Johns Hopkins and MIT for study of amino acid require-
ments;

Agricultural Research, August issue (p. 10) -- story on protein-
fortified wheat flour;

Press release, Aug. 2 -= announces shipment of protein-fortified
flour to India and Iran.

I hope you will not think me presumptuous in sending this
material, and that you will find it useful.

Sincerely yours,
