Dear Dr. Muller:

Dr. J. Lederberg has recently mentioned to me your
continued interest in weightless simulation experiments as out-
lined in your paper in Science (Vol. 128, 1958).

I thought you might be interested in several projects
underway currently in thig area under NASA and military auspices.
I'm sorry I have no reprints available here, but the enclosed bib-
ography (which is-by no meang exhaustive) may be of interest
to you. If you wieh, I could probably obtain reprinte for you, or
you can easily contact any of the listed authora for further informa-
tion.

In addition to this type of work, which is pertinent to
the 'Man in Space Program,” we are also pursuing experimental
‘studies at the microorgauiam and cellular level, locking for more
subtle effects of both high G levels and zero gravity.

If t can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

Be Sincerely,

Richard &. Young, Chief
Environmental Biology
