Dear Matt:

Senator MOndale would be a very good champion for following through on some
of our mutual concerns about work on biological warfare. I did send him
some matérial of my own in response to his letter, but I pointed to you as
having much more authoritative information on the history of BW control
proposals and the general atmosphere that pervades the administration on
this subject. I promised him that I would communtaate with you directly

and try to provoke you to contact him at your own initiative with further
material in response to his request.

I don't know just how many of these columns have been appearing in the
Boston Globe, so I enclose them anyhow for your own information.

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics
