Dear Josh:

VAC)

Thanks very much for the copy of your Ciba lecture. It is
of course a very provocative paper. I suppose, if we were to agree
upon including it in our Symposium volume at Ohio Wesleyan (this is
not an AIBS affair),that we would have to obtain permission to re-
print from Ciba and perhaps also from whoever published the reprint

you sent me.
Muller already has a copy.

Who would that be? Meanwhile I would like to circulate
copies of your paper to all members of our Symposium group.
The others are:

Dr. Joshua Lederberg - 2 1/2/63

If you have not sent copies to any of these people would you
please do it or send me the copies to distribute with an indication
to whom they are to go.

I personally would like very much to see your relevant ideas
incorporated in our volume. Because the subject is "The Control of
Human Heredity and Evolution" and because the volume is designed for
the general public and not just for professional biologists, your
paper would be most suitable if certain paragraphs were omitted and
perhaps if certain parts were revised to make them more generally
intelligible. Would you be willing to take the time to do this?

If not, would you be willing to let me make a try of it, subject to
your approval? I would like to have your reactions to these pos-
sibilities so I can submit them to our group along with the question
of whether it would be appropriate to include your paper in the pub
lished book. Since the Symposium is held under the auspices of Ohio
Wesleyan University, their wishes in the matter can not be entirely
ignored either. I would like to have an additional copy of your
paper to send to Dr. Shirling at Ohio Wesleyan. He is the man who
is making arrangements with the Ohio Wesleyan administration.

With all best wishes for the new year to you and Esther,

Cordially yours,

T. M Sénneborn
