J. LEIXRBERG    berg:



            --   utami Kiyota OE Kumamoto University, Japan,:
who applied for an international fellowship to spend a year
with -;;rne in neurochemistry, gave me your name as a reference.

We would appreciate your evaluation of Dr. Kiyota.

Sincerely yours,

Elizabeth Roboz Einstein, Ph.D.
Clinical Professor of Neurology
(Neurochemistry)

I Ilil;t -2. Kiyotia at Kumamoto, where I _ cound him to be doing some
excellent work on curare-receptor proteins under extremely adverse
conditions.  At that time his speaking knowledge of Znglisk uas quite
limit&, but he understood surprisingly well by contrast, a=;.! I have
heard that in the past two years he has put in a good deal GP effort
on this.  I was sufficiently well impressed to consider very seriously
asking him to q spend a year at Stanford, but as we were really not
set up, I concluded that to put such an organizational burden on him as
well would be impractical and unfair.  I judge he is certainly doir:g as
good work in the field as anyone else, has a good grasp of bas5c pr:,blems
and of the world's literature, and is working with uncommon er:ergy ind
enthusiasm. I liked him too, and would add that to the recommendaticn;
he is a vere serious-minded and determined fellow, and I would Eke to
see him get an opporttKlity to work tider rather less oppressi..r: conditions.

                      .
