Comment Summarized

Wants St. Eliz. Hosp. considered
for cardiovascular and stroke
rehabilitation centers

Sees "most imp....yet neglected
area..." (in effort to reduce death
from heart disease and stroke):
"inability to accurately evaluate

the individual with regard to a
biochemical index of the activity
level of atherogenic factors" (No one
has physical facility or staff for
this. Thinks approach similar to
cancer-virus program will be needed)

Promises enthusiastic support for
program through Medical World News.

Interested in grant possibilities for
his instn. under this program.

Wonders whether his Institute falls
within scope of program definitions
of cardiac center

Feels that Abilene would be good
place for 2 year medical schools
Dr. DeBakey mentioned. (Not clear
reference is to Pres. Comm. Report)

Asks for job lobbying with Congress
for program.
