Stanford niversity

Stanford, California

Dear Joshua:

Many thanks for your letter. I did not write the i
Jensen editorial and do not think I_would have made the >
regrettable error you pointed out. I have called it to the ~D
attention of the proper people, however, =

I thought your column last Saturday was very good
indeed, In this connection I have been troubled by the
seeming nonchalance NASA has been showing about the possibility
of contamination of earth's ambience from life on the moon
~ if any exists, I enclose some material we've printed
on this recently, and would appreciate your reaction,

ur
My present plans are to be in Stanford next week Q
- possibly with my wife, possibly alone, Will you te around, <e
I'd love to see you and discuss Some of the issues of common &
interest. Is there anyone else I ought to talk to in your

medical school besides you, Arthur Kornberg, and Dr, Shumway? 5

With best personal regards,

Sincerely

i gp \
