Dear Dr. Kvenvolden,

Thank you for taking the time to write regarding your interest in
a GC/HRMS facility to serve the Stanford University community. The
number of positive responses Carl Djerassi and I received from our
memorandum show that such a facility would serve many laboratories.
Your positive response will help us in our planning for the proposed
mass spectrometry service.
Sincerely yours,

Joshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
