39. Crick to Watson and Dr M W Nirenberg, 29 April, 1965 (carbon). Letter extract: "I am writing to you both because you are the two Chairmen of the Informal Exchange Group on Nucleic Acids and the Genetic Code. I want to suggest that at the end of the Gordon Conference on Nucleic Acids a statement be issued on the state of the Genetic Code. As you know I have found myself involved in this, but as a collater of information rather than a producer. I am constantly having to provide copies of my private version of the code to interested people.... This year's Gordon Conference should provide an ideal opportunity, not to present a final version of the code, but the best version of most of it. It will also be of value since it will show what remains to be established."
