YOUR INITIALS YOUR LETTER OUR INITIALS Stockholn, December el, 1962,

Dear Dr. Lederberg:

As you probably already know, the International Microbiology
Congress at Montreal gave the Section for Economic and Applied Micro
biology the assignment to organize the above conference in Stockholm,
Sweden, during the summer of 1963.

A preliminary program has been worked out and those of the
contributors listed, who were reached at the Montreal Congress have
already agreed to participate. The list of speakers should be
regarded as confidential for the time being.

We are now requesting the honour of your participation and
have taken the liberty of suggesting the general topic which we feel
should preferably be covered by you. We of course realize that you
may want to rephrase the title.

o/s The tentative program attached will probably be slightly modi-
fied, but the general plan will be followed. The main aim of the
conference is to outline the problems and to help in coordinating
microbiological research related to the technical advancement of the
developing countries. It is therefore felt that a good number of
scientists from such areas should be enabled to participate, and most
of the funds available for covering travelling and other expenses of
participants will therefore be earmarked for delegates and speakers
from these areas. It is hoped that other invited Speakers and delegates
will find sources to cover the expenses of participation. If, however,
this proves to be difficult, we wold like to be informed about the
level to which you want to be reimbursed,

All the papers presented by invited speakers will be published
in book form by Interscience /Wiley.

This coordination conference would benefit greatly by your
participation, and the Organizing Committees express the hope that
you will find the time to assist in this effort, which they believe
to be of great value to the advancement of scientifie and technical
research in a field of undisputed importance to the future of all mankind.

C.-G. Hedén
Chairman
