Dear Professor Lederberg,

Thank you very much for your letter of April 21 and the
enclosed article, which contained much useful and original infor-
mation. I found it particularly interesting, and well adapted to
the issues we have been studying and focusing on in the past six
months,

Indeed, your systematic classification of all grievances
expressed about technological impact proved particularly enlightening
tous, since our aim has been to concentrate on how ordinary French
folk welcomed technology, and how their reactions could exert an
influence on the policies of the State in the technological field.

Iam also most grateful for the references you give me
in your letter, some of which having already been brought to our
notice. In fact, I do hope that we will be able to meet in the near
future, and in any case I will be glad to submit parts of our work
to your scrutiny, as soon as our report is stripped of its confidential
character and brought out in the open.

With revewed grateful thanks, .

Yours sincerely,
eo
