I have learnt with great interest from Professor Natth Bhamarapravati, Chairman of the Prince Mahidol Awards Committee and also a distinguished member of the NSTDA Board, about your valuable contributions in the deliberations of the committee. The NSTDA is a funding and research organization established under the Science and Technology Development Act in 1991. Its mandate is to be a driving force for dynamic science and technology development in support of social and economic policies of the country. A brochure of NSTDA is attached herewith to provide you with further information. As I learned from Prof Bhamarapravati, you will be paying a visit to Thailand. With regard to this, I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit our Agency on the 29th of January 1997. I believe that your visit to NSTDA will provide valuable formulation of a work plan for international advisers to NSTDA. I do hope that you would accept this invitation and look forward to having the honor of your presence at NSTDA. With warmest regards. Yours sincerely, gre Professor Yongyuth Yuthavong Director @ qudviusimanssuuazimAluladsamwurdsna Tse 644-8107 @ dudinaluladlansuastaquiama Inias 644-8077
