KEDHARSATH: No. 



r»l I ARAM- The Forest Service has a man going to both countries in 

 October" f£ this Purpose. But tell us what you think about the need for 

 a coordinator. 



BORLAUG: I think you must have such a person. 



CALLAHAM- Yes, I understood the ultimate need. But with all the 



resistance. Could initial coordination be established b> mail. 



BORLAUG-. In the beginning, yes, but 1 think that " have re.ll y 

 strong coordination personal contacts are necessary . « the J^nter in 

 Mexico our original contacts were through young trainees. Oier the last

 technology needed to" assay material in international disease gard n , but 

 this will develop only when we begin to subject new materials to the 

 different races, preferably near host iparasite gene centers.
