Tear Josh:

You probably have not known that I will be President of the American
Trudeau Society in 1959-60; one of my most important duties is to select
and charge an effective working Committee Structure, Without doubt our
most important activity is support of Medical Education and Research.

The A.T.S. Committee on Medical Research meets once a year in New York
City for 2 or 3 days in March to review grant applications, Since your
parents are in the East you may enjoy an expenses paid trip there in March,

I know how many demands are made on your time, especially now since
you have received such a high honor. I hope, however, that you will consider
accepting an invitation to be on this Committee for 1959-60, We need new
ideas and good criticism to keep abreast of the times, Sidney Raffel can
tell you more intimately about the working of the Committee for he has

served on it many times. I would appreciate hearing from you at your
early convenience,

Best to you and Esther.
Sincerely,

Dear Roger: It is kind of you to think of me, but I'm afraid that | am already
committed to handle at least as much of this kind of work as | can afford to for
the NIH.

We've just moved here, as you know, and hopefully it will not be too much
longer before we can get down to work seriously again.

As ever,

Joshua Lederberg
