Dear Doctor Lederberg:

In pr CCannan'> absence I wish to acknowledge your letter

of 9 July, which will be brought to his attention on his return
early next month,

With respect to your last question, I understand that the
Japanese geneticists were consulted extensively concerning the for-
mulation of the Child Health Study. Also, collaboration has now
developed to the extent that no major studies are undertaken until
there has been full consultation with the Japan Advisory Council
for ABCC and formal bilingual agreements have been executed, This
will obviously apply to the F2 study now under consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Woda ‘ Wocdy, XQ
