Schmitt Head Curator Department of Zoology Smithsonian Institution Washington 25, D. C. Dear Dr. Schmitt: Since your last contact with Dr. Wolf early this year, he has changed positions and your letter of August 8, along with your other correspondence, has been referred to me since I am directly involved with soil screening. We are in a position to handle the soil samples and will be glad to receive them. As with the African soil samples, the du Pont Company will be happy to test and accept these new soils with the understanding that the Smithsonian Institution and all other interested parties waive all rights with respect to the samples and any useful products which may result from them. As you indicated in your letter, such an arrangement appears once more to be a satisfactory basis on which to proceed. Thank you very much. Very truly yours, /s/ J.W. McGahen J.W.
