    T THE S A L K INSTITUTE Dianne D. Day Director of Institute Relations October 8, 1981 Dr. J. K. Lee Lee Hysan Estate Company, Ltd. One Hysan Avenue 21st Floor Hong Kong Dear J. K.: It was so nice talking to you yesterday, and I am writing this letter to confirm what we discussed in our telephone conversation. As it now stands, Dr. Crick will be arriving in Hong Kong at 8:45 p.m. on Monday, November 2, and Dr. de Hoffmann will be arriving in Hong Kong at 2:35 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, and they look forward to you and Ann meeting them at the airport. On Sunday evening, November 1, Dr. de Hoffmann is meeting with S. P. Tao. The lunch hosted by Sir Kenneth is scheduled for November 3, as mentioned in your telex, and will be a small luncheon. Dr. de Hoffmann plans to speak for approximately 5 minutes to give an intro-duction of The Salk Institute and to introduce Dr. Crick, while coffee is being served. Then, Dr. Crick will talk for about 15 to 20 minutes, in lay language, about what he has done, where the scientific work at the Institute is going, and what it will do in the future for mankind (therefore touching on all areas of the world, including Hong Kong). The public lecture in the evening of November 3 will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Chinese University. Dr. Crick will speak for approximately 1 hour to an audience which will include faculty members, students in medicine, biology, and the physical sciences, as well as interested laymen. The topic of his presentation is, The Biological Revolution - Its Meaning for Medicine. Dr. Crick will be using 35mm slides in his presentation, so a projector and screen will be necessary.
