Tear Dr. Lederberg:

I am very glad to have your suggestion that we make an effort to
develop a system of nomenclature for bacterial genetics which could
be used for listing in computer selection, I sincerely hope that the
problems you encountered can be solved to satisfaction of all concerned,
and I can assure you that this matter will be considered at our conference,

An invitation to attend the conference has been sent to Mr. Okum, Also
I am asking Dr. H. E, Umbarger, to send him the invitation to attend the
Symposium. His travel expenses and living expenses during the conference

(but not during the whole Symposium ) will be covered from a small grant we
received from the Genetics Society,

Sincerely yours,
