Dear Dr. Lederberg: Joahue

It was a pleasure to receive your letter of June 26, 1967, containing
numerous items of interest about your recent activities. I hope that you
had a good trip to Europe, but this is hardly a novelty. I am not at all
startled that you received an invitation to join the National Advisory
Mental Health Council because they are interested in genuine, competent,
and dedicated workers; and I am pleased that you accepted because I am
sure that you can bring much wider scope and depth to our deliberations
than they might suspect because of your basic affiliations, I am sure that
you will try to avoid simplistic, doctrinaire views.

I will do my best to interest the editors of the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette, which is the morning paper, and the Pittsburgh Press, which is
the evening paper, in your columns, Unfortunately, I do not have a
good personal acquaintance with the current editors, but I will follow
up during the year as various opportunities appear.

It is good to know that the domestic turbulence has subsided so
that you may seek new states of serenity.

With all good wishes.
Cordially,
Hawk
