Dear YBa —
/ pe

Belated thanks for the copy of your 1962 proposal., | a
prescience. a \

        

a“

In January 2000, a mere 38 years after you proposed it, the SCITEL archive
(now called PubMed Central and accessible through the Internet rather than
on newsprint) will officially start collecting material. There is more information
at http:/Awww.nih.gov/welcome/director/pubmedcentral/pubmedcentral.htm, but
| also enclose a copy of our recent announcement of PubMed Central.

There is something to be said for standing on the shoulders of giants.

Sincerely,

Harold Varmus, M.D.
Director
