He mentions that Itano is being transferred to Bethesda and will be awarded the Eli Lilly Award in Biochemistry for his work on the discovery of abnormal hemoglobin. He states that he is looking for a new field to research after Itano's departure and that he will be giving a Harvey Lecture in New York on he and Itano's abnormal hemoglobin research.
