Dear Elliott:

As I promised, I am following up our telephone conversation of

Friday with this letter and the attachment, Public Law 93-353.

As you can see, we are mandated to create, among other things, a
Care Technolo Center We are very interested in discus-

sing with various groups around the country issues having to do

with the form, content, size, directorship, etc. of such an entity.

It would be most helpful if you could assemble a small group of
your colleagues, hopefully including Josh Lederberg, to review
these issues with us. As I indicated, it would be convenient for
me to be in California either early in the week of September 16

or early in the week of September 23. Could you arrange a meeting
around one of those periods? Dr. Daniel Fox, Associate Director
for Academic and Inter-Governmental Affairs, BHSR, has principal
responsibility in our organization for the development of these
programs and I am going to make every effort to bring him or one
of his staff people with me.

s

I am very much looking forward to seeing you.

Yours Sincerely,
“a
