Dear Josh:

This is to tell you that I have agreed to serve as
co-experimenter on Gil Levin's "Gulliver" life-detection
project. It seems that the Gulliver has had no official
standing up to nowe--i.e., it was not even on the tentative
list of experiments being considered for Mariner B. NASA
wanted to have a professional biologist attached to the
experiment, in order to give it status with the scientific
commnity and with themselves. I have agreed to take this
responsibility, sinc@ I think the Gulliver is a well-designed
device that deserves to be considered for a Mars mission.
IT am sure that you agree with this, even though you may
personally prefer the Multivator.

Hope you had a pleasant trip to Japan.

Yours ;
