Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
Only the volume of our mail has prevented earlier acknowl- 
edgment of your letter of November 17th. 
Our response to the question raised by you is that this 
Foundation has no role in the support or conduct of the re- 
search referred to. 
December 2, 1976 
Sincerely yours 
JB/cr
