Dear Professor Lederberg:

This is to inquire whether you may be interested and able to attend a
"Pugwash Symposium" on "Science, Technology and Development" tentatively
scheduled to be held at Stanford University on September 1-4, 1970. The en-
closed background paper and agenda explain the origin and planned structure
of the Symposium. Our hope is to discuss substantial matters such as popu-
lation and nutrition and "intermediate technology" from the point of view of
possible mechanisms and institutions to which scientific communities of devel-
oped and developing countries could best contribute their talents .

Any critical remarks you would care to contribute concerning this pro-
gram will be gratefully received.

We would appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience.

th HPSVANINA.
