bear Dr, Krink,

I um writing to usk that the limit of $100 per month which has been
aet for siudent empioyaent in the gumasr months be waived in the case
of ate Doneid Gordon, who is now working for me ag a laboratory assie- |
tunt. i. Gordon is © veteran student sho hse just completed his junior
yeur in a Wadieai lcrobiology major. He had pianned to take courses
this sucmer sedsion, but found that those he needed were not being offered
this year. He will, therefore, not receive subsistence bensfite for the
suunMer months. |

ur, Gordon hus guiaed considerable proficiency and experience while
eapioyed here, and his services ape invaluable. i had hoped io eaploy
hin full tine (40 hourafweek) for the sunser, at the peaunerston of
75 per hour but noted that the total pey would have exceeded the 4109
limit. Ne is 2 diligent und interested worker, ami probably would con<
sent to work without pay for these extra hours ; but he needs the income
(being married? and it would be grossly unfair to ask him tc dosso.

Your interest in this matter would be greatly appreciated,

Yours sincerely,

Jpshua Lederberg
Assistant Professor of Genetics.
