Victor P. Bond, MD.
Associate Director

Brookhaven National Laboratories, Inc.
Upton, New York 11973

Dear Dr. Bond:

;
1

It was a pleasure to have been able to speak with you during your
recent trip to Japan, and I hope your return trip to the U.S. was a pleasant
one.
You indicated that in addition’ to the Marshall Island project, there
might exist the opportunity for me to participate in some other research
going on at Brookhaven. My laboratory interests center around radiation
and immune system interactions, as well as carcinogenesis, particularly
radiation carcinogenesis. My interest in carcinogenesis is at the cellular
and subcellular levels as well as at the intact organism and population
levels. Perhaps you could briefly describe the current work in these
areas now being done at Brookhaven, or alternatively, ask investigators

in this. area to briefly describe their work with a few references.

I am now in the process of making some initial inqiuries concerning
clinical radiotherapy and will keep you posted on any developments along
this line.

Sincerely yours,
A
