Dear Professor Lederburg:

John Roche, Jim Gaither and I thoroughly enjoyed the most stimulating
discussion we had with you and your colleagues in San Francisco last
week,

As I mentioned then, we would appreciate greatly receiving any further
thoughts you might have about possible Presidential statements during
the next eight months, We would also like to have your views about the
other subjects which were mentioned only briefly -- the study of the
Presidency and the School of Public Service which is being established
at the University of Texas. .

The President has asked me to convey his personal gratitude for your
taking the time to meet with us and for your suggestions which we have
passed along to him.

We hope that we will hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

L

eph A, Calj ay. Le
