Lindberg, M.D. Director National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health Department of Health & Human Services 8600 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20894 Dear Don: Many thanks for your letter of May 28th regarding the meeting on regional medical programs scheduled for December 6, 1991. I very much regret that I will not be able to attend on that date because of a meeting of the Kaiser Family Foundation Board of Directors. I am sure that you have been in touch with Bill Stewart and Bob Marston regarding the early organization of the program, and of course with Mike DeBakey regarding the Commission and the forces that led to legislation. I am delighted that Dr. Rikli will be assisting as I think we need a few people with good institutional memories on this. I have enclosed my response postcard indicating my willingness to be of assistance. Sincerely, f Ly Philip R. Lee, M.D. Professor of Social Medicine enclosure
