Dear Mr. Ambassador: 
We are addressing this letter to you in order to assure that the 
important documents attached hereto are delivered to the most appropriate 
biomedical research agency of your host government. Where a science 
attache has been assigned to a post the letter has been addressed 
directly to him. However, in the absence of a science attache, would 
you kindly assign a member of your staff responsibility for assuring 
that the documents are delivered to the most appropriate senior 
official of the host government's agency responsible for promoting 
and supporting biomedical research. If such an agency does not exist, 
perhaps it could be delivered to a senior official of the appropriate 
national science agency. 
We would also appreciate receiving by telegram the name and title of 
the person to whom the guidelines have been delivered. 
We deeply appreciate your assistance in this matter. 
Sincerely yours, 
/ s/ 
Milo D. Leavitt, Jr., M.D.
