Dear Josh,

My long association with SIPRI’s CBW-study has forced me to
keep up with the literature on rapid methods and automation
in microbiology and, in addition, the activities of my
department have drifted that way. Against this background
it is perhaps logical that I now find myself as chairman of
the organizing committee for the sympesium described in the
enclosed circular. I have invited Don Glaser to come over.
and M. Mitz is on the advisory panel, but we want to be
quite certain that the applications in molecular biology and
microbial genetics are not lost in the wealth of laboratory
approaches to clinical problems. Consequently I would like
to invite you to give a paper (30 min, or so) related to
labour-saving techniques in microbial genetics, and to serv
as Vice-President of the Symposium. We are not yet in a
position to estimate the extent to which we will be able to
reimburse your travel costs (this largely depends on the
economic yield of the associated exhibition) but under all
circumstances you would be our guest while in Stockholm.

All the best for 1973,

  

Sincerely yours,

Chairman org. comm,
