Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Your letter of February 21 was so stimulating
that I am almost tempted to ask whether you would pre-
fer to conduct a panel, incorporating a number of the
ideas and the men you mentioned. In connection with
the "one to one" theory you mention Dr. Charles Yanofsky,
and in connection with Dr. Hotchkiss's topic, Dr. S.
Zamenhof and Dr. T. Puck.

Aliso your comments concerning a finel contribu-
tion by br. James Neei on the "mutant hemoglobins"
brought to mind that,during earlier stages of the pro-
gram, we had attempted to make the last session one of
a type in which this subject would be included. Cur-
rently we are considering several possible replacements
for Dr. Goldstein, who may be unable to come. Hence
the blank space on the enclosed latest revision of the
tentative program. The topic "Regulation of Enzyme
Activity" would seem, however, to exclude the possi-
bility of including a paper by Dr. Neel at that point.

Dr. Lehninger and Dr. Bernard Davis had the
most to do with the program for the first day. The
comments which I have made in this letter are entirely
my own, Since they arose from the reeding of your letter.
However, if you have any preferences concerning the
organization of the last part of the First Afternoon
Session, please be free to let me know so that I can
take them up with the above mentioned members of the
advisory Program Committee.

Very sincerely yours,
OHG:dr O. H. Gaebler
