Dear Doctor Lederberg:

In response to your letter of November 9, 1950, please be assured
that I regret very much misinterpreting your wishes in regard to your
application entitled "Genetics of Bacteria." If I had knovm that you
would just as soon have had your project start June 1, 1951, I would have
changed the dates accordingly and scheduled it for February review. As
it is, however, you did not return your application with your letter of
November 9, 1950, and it is now too late to schedule applications for
February review. Consequently, I would like to suggest that you resub-
mit your proposal at your convenience, but in any event not later than
March 1, 1951, which is the deadline date for receipt of applications
proposing studies to start in September, October or November of 1951.

You will note from the instructions previously sent you that we do
not ordinarily activate projects in July or August because final deter-
Mination of our appropriation for this program is often delayed several
weeks after the July 1 beginning of the Federal fiscal year.

sneerey yours,

Megs
