Dear Minister Fontana:
I have been truly impressed by the success of the Human Frontiers Science Program
(HFSP), the high quality of the science under the HFSP, and the degree of international
collaboration supported through the program. I am also pleased to say that U.S.
support for the program will be increased. I look forward the HFSP's continuing
success with great confidence.
As a strong supporter of HFSP, I have put considerable thought into the question of
who should succeed Sir James Gowans when he retires in 1993. A number of excellent
candidates have been forwarded to the HFSP Board of Trustees. As you know, I have
identified a potential American candidate who would be superbly qualified, and whom
you may well know -- Lawrence Bogorad. Dr. Bogorad is an internationally recognized
leader in molecular biology and leads an active research lab at Harvard University. He
also currently serves as editor of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
(PNAS).
I believe that Dr. Bogorad is the strongest candidate for the position of Secretary
General. I will be calling you in the near future to discuss his nomination.
I regret that we were not able to meet during my recent visit to Italy. I hope we have
the opportunity in the near future.
Sincerely yours,
D. Allan Bromley

I have been favorably impressed by the early accomplishments of the Human Frontier
Science Program (HFSP), including the high quality of the science and the degree of
international collaboration supported through the program. As you are aware, the U.S.
support for the program is being increased.
As an element of my concern for the HFSP, I have put considerable thought into the

National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
I believe that Dr. Bogorad is, on balance, the candidate for the position of Secretary
General who would contribute best to the future success of the HFSP. I will be calling
you in the next few days to discuss the selection process.
I look forward to our meeting under the Joint Consultative Group.
Sincerely yours,
