Dear Josh, - )

(.

Wefnave had an opportunity to study the descriptive booklet on SUMEX
you kifidly sent us. At this stage, and at our present level of technical
activities, WHO itself could probably not contribute very much, nor benefit
greatly from the excellent facility described with respect to the artificial
intelligence component as I understand it. We do see, however, great
usefulness in having access to biological research information which will be
part of the data base SUMEX will use, I should like to take these matters
up with you when you are here in January.

With all good wishes,
Yours sincerely,

Martin Kaplan
