IADWid® GORPORATION OF APABRRIGA Din PRS ISLE GPRONIG IPIRDEITCPrS CAMDEN 2. NEW JERSEY July 7, 1961 Br. Joshua Lederberg Professor of Genetics Stanford University Medical Center Palo Alto, California Dear Dr. Lederberg: It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet you and to discuss several of the problems of mutual interest. In mentioning some of these to our TV people, they feel that these problems are, by no means, insurmountable or difficult to solve. Mr. Cope, who is concerned with the development of TV tubes and systems, will be on the West Coast in the next two weeks and will contact you then. Apropos of our discussion relative to an informal working agreement between you and RCA, it is felt that such an agreement would be beneficial to both of us. Since this would be on an individual cooperative basis, our mutual interests can then be served most effectively. I hope that this arrangement will be satisfactory and that we may be of help in achieving some of our common goals in the United States space program. With best regards to you and to Dr. Levinthal, we are certainly Looking forward to the values that might arise from a better mutual acquaintance. Sincerely yours, en Hs Bele Myron H.
