Dear Hsing-Jien:
Thanks for your congratulatory note -- and congratulations to you for the ACS Faculty Research Award.  As you know, I have been proud of your success in East Lansing and assume that the award will only accelerate your progress.
Thanks for the information about the sequence of the 7258 clone. What has happened to your paper about erb B insertions?  As you no doubt know,
Harriet has found several such insertions in erythroblastosis; I hope you and Teddy will be on the news-stand long before she is.
I cannot advise you about the CSH Symposium; your letter was the first word I have had about the topic. (Frankly, I am feeling saturated with oncogene meetings.)
With best regards,
Harold E. Varmus, M.D.
