Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Thank you for sending me the digest of your
paper at the CIBA Foundation Symposium, in response to
my recent letter to you. I have obtained the full pro-
ceedings of that Symposium, and enjoyed very much read-
ing your full paper as well as your various discussion
remarks.

My purpose in writing to you, originally, was
to ascertain the nature of any recommendations you may C\
have made to the government regarding specific action o

that should be taken to plan for the consequences of
progress in genetics or germinal choice, and related
developments. My interest relates to one aspect of a CN
study of the mechanisms for policy development in the os
light of the problems being created for us, both as a &

consequence of population growth and the advances of oo
science. —T

I was told that you had submitted a memorandum -
or letter to the government in this area, and hence I C

was anxious to learn more about it. Are there, perhaps,
any other recorded thoughts of yours pertinent to this
problem area, which you might consider appropriate to
send to me, without involving you in any substantial
effort?

Your assistance in this regard will be very
much appreciated.

0 Sincerely,
