Dear Dr. Lederberg:

As you know, the U. 5. Information Agency is engaged in telling
the story of America to the rest of the world. In this connection
we make considerable use of photographs in our U.5.1.5. publications
and to illustrate suitable feature articles for distribution to the
press of other countries.

As part of our program we would like to use the article "Great
American Scientist: "The Biologists" which appeared in the June 1960
issue of "Fortune".

We have received permission from "Fortune" magazine to use the
article, and will obtain the photographs from them upon receipt of
your permission.

At this time we are planning to include your picture in one of
our U.S.1I.S. publications, "Al-Hayat", a magazine that presents
America in Arabic language. It is distributed in the Near East,
Africa and India. We will then place the photograph in our library
file for possible future use in our overseas program.

If you grant this permission, would you kindly sign the copy of
the letter and return it in the enclosed self addressed envelope.

Your cooperation with the Agency is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

elby/B. th
