Dear Josh :

Marcovich and I are interested in your proposal of
cooperating in the NASA experiments along the line which your
letter of November 21 draws, Since you kindly gave us a first
option on this matter, 1 write you briefly in order just to
give you my acceptation., We will discuss about more details
later,

For the time being at least, i feel that our coope-
ration could be handled on a personal scientific basis, However
1 would remain free to forward any information concerning our
own participation in this work to some scientific or government
circles in France, In particular, I will inform the Comité
Francais de l'Espace, I do not think I'll go to your country
before one year or so, but it will be a nice opportunity to
meet you if you come next April to a COSPAR meeting.

With best regards,

f ley

Dr, R, Latarjet
