Dear Dr. Lederberg: Conway Collis

Financial Director

As the new Executive Director of FIBER I want to let you
know that I am excited about the opportunities before us and
will do my best to take advantage of them as quickly and
thoroughly as possible.

I am pleased to inform you that we now have a Science
Advisory Board Executive Committee which will be able to consult
with Bill regularly on his constant flow of new ideas. The
Chair is Dr. Marott Sinex and the members are Drs. Demopoulos,
Goldstein, Williams and Al Rosenfeld. I know we are all
grateful for their willingness to take on this additional
involvement.

We are planning to hold a Board of Director's meeting and a
Science Advisory Board meeting in New York City the 3rd week of
March. It will be held at the Puritan board room which is at
1400 Broadway, 4th Floor. I will call you as soon as w have
decided on a specific date. I very much look forward to meeting
you at that time. ,

Since taking on my new responsibilities I have started out
by beginning to pull together appropriate materials to be used
for fundraising purposes, to contact members of the print and
electronic media for future publicity and to meet with
representatives of organizations with whom we can possibly share
services for either fundraising, public relations or sources for
research projects.

In that regard, I have enclosed a copy of a report (FIBER
Accomplishments and Goals) which combines in part a format and
information that you have seen previously in different form. I
am presently planning on using this report as follow-up
information to potential contributors and temporarily in place

The Fund for Integrative Biomedical Research is a non-profit corporation. Contributions are tax-deductible.
~2-

of a brochure for those who have requested material. If you have any
comments about the report, either in terms of its use or its content, I
would very much appreciate hearing from you.

I have enjoyed working with Miles Rubin in the past and am very pleased
to have the opportunity to do so again. I highly respect his opinion, and
his opinion of this organization and of the people who have put it together
and hold it together is very high. I therefore all the more look forward to
working with you and I hope that I will be able to carry out your wishes so
that FIBER too can enjoy a long and vigorous life.

Elizabeth E. Chotin
Executive Director
