UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Hi BERKELEY « DAVIS « IRVINE = LOS ANGELES * RIVERSIDE « SAN DIEGO * SAN FRANCISCO i SANTA BARBARA * SANTA CRUZ Iyer A. Hastie 11/7/74 Professor Joshua Lederberg Dept. of Genetics School of Medicine Stanford University Stanford, Calif. 94305 Dear Professor Lederberg: Marjorie Grene has asked me to send you the enclosed draft of our forthcoming applieation to the National Endowment of the Humanities. It is still quite incomplete, without appendix, the organizational side much in need of revision (on which we are working) and not aided in its exposition by an approeching deadline. I have also commented on this proposal to your colleague Gordon Craig, in History, who is an old friend and has at any rate inter- disciplinary interests. On another matter: we have a monthly meeting of a Science Colloquium dealing with questions of science policy. Would your schedule permit meeting with this group one evening sometime during this academic year? We would greatly appreciate it, if you could make this possible. I am asking my secretary to send you our minutes of last year to give you an impression. I shall call you in a few weeks when you have had a chance to look it over. Sincerely yours, fru ted) Ree Reinhard Bendix
