Dear Josh:

We were delighted to have your generous and thoughtful critique of the a
conference report "Behavioral Factors and Cardiovascular Disease."

You will probably be interested to see the enclosed NIMH staff comments,
many of which turn out to be congruent with your views. The summary of
our recent meeting with the Director of the National Heart Institute and
his Special Assistant will bring you up-to-date on what we agreed should
be the next steps in this activity.

While it is not certain at this moment that we will present the confer- ‘,

ence report to the Council in September, we shall, in any case, keep you . ny
informed on developments. ot

With many thanks,

Sincerely,
WA
