Dear Ray:
The enclosed Memorandum is self-explanatory.

However, on a personal note, I want to thank you
for al that you have done over the years to further
the objectives of Citizens for the Treatment of High
Blood Pressure.

You ane one of the guys on the Coordinating Committee
T wikl really miss. Ad I wrote you several years back, I
will always be grateful for the "education" I received from
you in the field of hypertension. I am abso grateful for that
Lovely dinner party you hosted at the Last National Hypertension
Conference in Vegas.

Panenthetically, since you and Don Vidt seem to be taking
cane of all the Arabian kings, princes and hookers, I wonder
44 you would mine taking on a very dear friend of mine -- the
Ayatollah Khoement.

IT wilh miss seeing you and I hope our paths will cross
ain the near future. In the meantime, I wish for youa
most successful New Year, with the significant hope that you
can biberalize the American Medical Association. 1% you
can do that, you can wakk on water.

Cordially,

CU
