D: How are things?
K: Okay.
D: Two points: One, I wondered whether you see any business
ahead for us and want to see us. Second is a more oddball and perhaps
frivilous thing/ but it is interesting in that it's typical of a number of
possibilities on the technological front that are developed but not needed
in Ane rica. At Squibb, they have come across a powerful drug against
schistosamiasis a disease carried by snails whose effect ranks with
malaria.
K: And used to be incurable.
D: That's right. It looks like it is an effective drug developed
by Squibb, but it's not continuing its development because there's no
hard-currency market here and it's an expensive program to get by
FDA rules. China is one of the countries that suffers most from this,
particularly in the Yangtze Valley. If there's some interest in this for the
President's trip it might be studied on a hurry-up basis.
K: That's a good idea. How do we go about it?
D: I would pass it on to David, and get the Squibb people
in touch. There is someone at Hopkins who is working on this. It's not
of any use locally, but it is of great potential use elsewhere and should
be looked at. The National Science Foundation
If it's pushed on David you could probably get a summary in 10 days or SO.
K: It's an excellent idea and I am going to push it.
D: I will give the details to David. Is that how I should do it?
K: No, send them to me first in a letter.
D: Okay. And is there any business for our group. We had the
session in August on SALT matters and then I saw Harold. You saw him
too I take it.
K: Yes, and your talk with him was very helpful.
D: Maybe we should schedule another meeting late in September
K: No, early in October would be better for me.
