Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Thank you for sending me your testimony of March 8
before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Research of the Committee
on Government Operations.

Your testimony is extremely interesting and incisive;
I appreciate your comments on my S. Res. 68 to establish a Select
Senate Committee on Technology and the Human Environment.

May I say that your weekly column in the Washington
Post is certainly a positive contribution to the welding of science
and public policy. It is through men like you that we will hopefully
reach the stage of an informed Congress, an informed scientific com-
munity and an informed public.

AINSAW

Sincerely,
’

und S. Muskie
United States Senator
