Roar THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CHICAGO 37° ILLINOIS THE ENRICO FERMI INSTITUTE FOR NUCLEAR STUDIES October 28, 1959. Professor Aaron Novick Institute for Molecular Biology The University of Oregon Eugene, Oreg. Dear Novick: I do not think that I can help you very much with your problem concerning cooperation with the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. The only useful advice I can give is as follows: The Russian Academy likes to deal with organiza- tions rather than with individuals. Therefow you should approach them in the name of an appropriaté organization and preferably through the National Academy of Sciences of which I assume Lederberg is a member. You should write to Alexander Topchiev, General Secretary of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.5S.R., Leninskg Prospekt, Moscow. At the moment I am snowed under, trying to get two manu- scripts ready for printing in the next ten days. When I emerge I shall write you again. With kind regards, Yours / ‘ Yl woke Sybat wliep hfe ~ Z, t Awe (/le- ( a hive te. th» (Kaw & . pae- LUS~ usWe poe Hey o phe Jf ret. pe my Crore abn t Bp Tas Afers hetegy Ui Ae hoes aged ~ Pas ~ ae Seu. aw Kean es Lu aK S Top eal G LAA,
