Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Enclosed is the final report of the Ad Hoc Committee
on Evaluation of Federal Support of Science. It
incorporates most of the changes suggested by you and
your colleagues.

May I ask that you glance at it once more and,
if you have any further comments or note any errors
in fact, call Mrs. Jean Fitzpatrick at the Academy by

, November +#2° To save time, we shall assume

your approval if we have not heard from you by then.
We expect to have the report printed and sent to
President Johnson, President-Elect Nixon and the Congress
by the first week in December.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Very truly yours,

W Dahan
