This file contains mostly correspondence about the collaboration between the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi, India, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland. The letters in this file are from January to March of 1986. This file includes letters either addressed to or written by Philip E Schambra, Science Attache of the Embassy of the United States of America, New Delhi, Edwin D Becker, Associate Director for Research Services of the Department of Health and Human Services, USA, and many more. Though it was attached with many letters, only one copy of the draft 'Memorandum of Understanding For Cooperation between the National Institutes of Health and Indian Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB)' is retained. The last letter by Philip E Schambra has another corrected photocopy of 'Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation Between the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India, and the Intramural Research Program of the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA' which is annotated with corrections to be made since the collaborative party has changed from the Centre for Cellular Molecular Biology (CCMB) to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). There are also a few handwritten notes, and the half cover of the file is also retained since it has a stamp of CCMB and RRL on it.
