Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I very much appreciated your letter of January 30, and was
most interested to learn that you are now chairman of the
President's Cancer Panel. Congratulations!

My interest in carcinogen control stems from my six years
as a Commissioner at the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
I became quite concerned that the government did not have a
unified and coherent policy or approach to dealing with can-
cer. While some good steps have been taken to remedy the
confusion that now exists, there is sti4l much more to do.

Enclosed is an article that articulates some of my views.
The work I am engaged in now follows along these same lines.

I would be delighted to get together with you in Philadelphia,
Washington, or New York. Please drop me a line or give me a
call.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,
