Dear President Leopold: 
 
     I will be pleased to serve on the Life 
fistories exploratory eoomwittee. I hope that 
Prof. Taylor and Dr. Hiokey will also aecept. 
Your recommendation that a few sample biographies 
should be written and published before Rn 
elaborate standardized scheme is published, agrees 
exactly with the sentiments expressed by Prof. 
:J. S. Cooper when I discussed this matter with 
him. 
                         Very sincerely yours,
