Dear Dr Lederberg,

thank you very much for your letter of 23 December 1990 and for
providing me with the two interesting reprints ("The once and
future professor" and "The social function of the scientist"). May
I repeat the question of my 4 July 1990 letter to ask whether you
can kindly provide me with material on the conference on "Emerging
Viruses" including (a preprint of) the review prepared by Stephen
Morse (as mentioned in Science, vol. 247, p. 279).

The Iraq problem was discussed in Kiihlungsborn only marginally
(see page 14 and 15 of the enclosed reprints). To me it is still
an open question whether the Iraq was in the possession of
biological and toxin weapons, indeed, and whether and which BW and
TW agents have been weaponized. Perhaps implementation of the
obligations of the armistice will finally provide an satisfactory
answer which might have a decisive impact on, among other things,
the course of the Third Review Conference to the BW Convention.

Sincerely,

E&. Prer— abeqerk /
