Dear Joshua:

I hope that you have had a little time to look over the draft of the
minutes of our meeting in Bethesda, and also put some further thoughts
together about the plan for genetic analysis of the Collaborative Study
data. The Perinatal Research Committee, (Kohl, Lilienfeld, etc.) at the
request of the Institute Director has taken over the overall direction of
data analysis and they have been very impressed with our efforts to pro-
duce a plan for analysis of the genetic and socioeconomic data. They have

encouraged me to keep our little panel alive and active and I hope to be
able to do so.

I will be out of the country the first part of September, but I will
be back in time to attend the meeting of The American Society of Human
Genetics, in San Francisco. If you plan to be there, perhaps we can get

together and try and put our plan for genetic analysis into a little better
shape.

I have been in touch with Dr. Witkin and he promised to come up with

an experimental design and research proposal pretty soon. Have you heard
from him? .

With best personal regards, I am,
Very cordially yours,

dV iro
