Dear Professor Lederberg:

Thank you for your letter cf May 1 concerning S, 1228, a bill
to establish a National Institute of Radiation Health. I appreciate your
interest in this propesal and am happy to send you the enclosed copy of
the bill together with a reprint of my remarks in the Senate when I intro-
Guced ite Se 1228 is now pending before the Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare, No hearings have yet been scheduled.

As I am neither a doctor nor a scientist, I am particularly
appreciative of receiving the comments of persons, such as yourself, who
are concerned professionally with radiation problems. Iam sure that you
share my hope that early public hearings will be held on tnis measure in
order that Congress may have an opportunity to obtain further expert testi-
mony on this topice

Kind regards,
Sincerely,
| rt
