The\nPresident and Mrs. Ford have been invited to participate in the\ndedication of the new cancer facilities on October 2. The invitation\nwas issued by R. Lee Clark, M. D., President of The University of\nTexas System Cancer Center, and an original (and continuing) member\nof the President's Cancer Panel.\nThe University of Texas System Cancer Center is one of the 17\nComprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States and one of the\nleading cancer centers in the world. When the National Cancer Act of\n1971 was passed, authorizing the establishment of 15 new centers for\nclinical research, training, and demonstration of advanced diagnostic\nand treatment methods relating to cancer, the University of Texas\nSystem Cancer Center was recognized as already meeting the standards\nof excellence for such centers.\nThe President and Mrs. Ford have been invited to participate in the\ndedication of the expanded facilities of the University of Texas M. D.\nAnderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, which is the key unit of the\nUniversity of Texas System Cancer Center. The expanded facilities\nwill consist of a 330-bed hospital pavilion, new outpatient clinics\ncapable of handling 1,200 outpatients a day, an expanded radiotherapy\ncenter, 2 additional floors of research space (100,000 square feet),\nand a chapel--the first chapel the institution has ever had. When\nconstruction of these five projects is complete, M. D. Anderson's\nsize will have doubled, and it may then be the largest building in\nthe world devoted solely to cancer research and treatment.\nThe work of M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute is almost\nequally divided between basic research and patient care. Outstanding\naccomplishments have been achieved in both fields of activity. For\nexample, physicians and scientists at M. D. Anderson Hospital and\nTumor Institute designed and perfected the cobalt-60 radiotherapy\nunit, which is in use today in more than 1,000 hospitals. They\nFORD\nBERAID\nLIBRARY\nPage 2 - The Honorable Sarah Massengale\nperfected mammography, a technique for early detection of breast\ncancer. They were among the first to develop immunotherapy programs\nand have the largest program in the United States today using the\nimmunotherapeutic agent BCG in the treatment of melanoma, adult\nleukemia, breast and colon cancers. M. D. Anderson's medical staff\nis now pioneering in the use of other extracts for immunotherapy.\nM. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute established the first\nrehabilitation center in the country devoted to the cancer patient.\nThis is a separate 110-bed facility which opened in 1972. Always\nconscious of the psychological impact of cancer on patient and family,\nM. D. Anderson was one of the first hospitals in the country to\nencourage a parent to stay overnight with a child. Now virtually\nevery youngster treated at M. D. Anderson has a parent with him at\nall times. M. D. Anderson scientists were among the first in the\nUnited States to verify the effectiveness of adriamycin, one of the\nmost effective anticancer drugs yet developed. They also developed\nnew combination chemotherapy for osteogenic sarcoma which has now\nproduced and sustained remissions in 67 percent of patients who have\nnow been followed for two years.\nM. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute employs a total of more\nthan 3,100 people. There are more than 280 physicians and scientists\non its staff as well as approximately 225 residents and fellows. Since\npatient care began at M. D. Anderson in 1944, the hospital has treated\nnearly 120,000 patients--from all 254 Texas counties, from all 50\nAmerican States, and from numerous foreign nations. Approximately\none-third of the patients have been medically indigent Texans receiving\nfree care. At any one time, M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute\nhas research grants and contracts from all sources totalling approxi-\nmately $20 million. Current National Cancer Institute support for the\nUniversity of Texas Cancer Center, in research grants, training awards,\nand contracts, totals $15,712,067.\nMichael J Liceta\nExecutive Secretary\nto the Department\nBERAID R.

We are more than doubling all of our present facilities at a cost\nof $72 million, all but $10 million of which came from non-federal\nsources. At that moment of dedication, we will be a comprehensive\ncancer center equal to any in the world in cancer research, education,\nand health service (see Appendix for details). We do hope that you will\nfind this to be an appropriate time for you to manifest your personal\nand presidential interest and dedication to the solution of health\nproblems through research. With your participation as our honored\nspeaker, the event would be a fitting and lasting tribute to the Texas\nMedical Center, our institution, and the people of the Southwest during\nthis Bicentennial year.\nAs a member of your President's Cancer Panel, I am dedicated to the\nsolution of the cancer problem at the earliest possible date. Your\ninterest and support are of inestimable help and are essential to the\nattainment of this goal.\nThank you for your consideration of this invitation.\nSincerely,\nR. teack\nR. Lee Clark, M.D.\nPresident\nRLC:ag\ncc: The Honorable John Tower\nThe Honorable Allan Shivers\nFORD & DERALD LIBRARY\nChairman, Board of Regents\nThe University of Texas System\nM.D. ANDERSON HOSPITAL AND TUMOR INSTITUTE\nAnnex and Rehabilitation Center\nAPPENDIX\nM.D. Anderson and Tumor Institute of The University of Texas System\nCancer Center is nearing completion of a $72 million expansion program\nbegun in 1973 which more than doubles our space and permits a marked\nincrease in all aspects of our operation.\n- A new 340 bed hospital, enlarging our bed capacity to 600\n- A new clinic which will accommodate 1200 patients a day, twice\nas many as are presently seen daily\n- An additional 100,000 square feet of research space\n- A Radiation Therapy addition, doubling current space\nThe new facilities also will better equip us to participate in teaching\nmedical students who rotate through our institution for a portion of\ntheir clinical experience, predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, and\nresidents in clinical medical specialties.\nThis institution, established in 1941 by the Texas Legislature, has been\na leader in providing the best in cancer treatment, research, and education\nthat our present knowledge can provide. Recognized by the National\nCancer Institute as one of the three largest of the nation's 17 compre-\nhensive cancer centers, it has also been a major force in implementing\nthe National Cancer Act of 1971 for the Conquest of Cancer. As many\ncancer patients are seen yearly at our institution as at any other\nhospital in the United States. Since the beginning of our therapeutic\nprogram, private physicians from every Texas county, 49 states, and 27\nforeign countries have referred to us more than 112,000 of their patients\nfor consultation, diagnosis and treatment. Much needed rehabilitative\ntreatment is extended to many cancer patients through services of our separate\ncancer rehabilitation hospital, opened in 1972. This hospital is the\nnation's first center devoted exclusively to rehabilitation of the\ncancer patient.\nEducation and research are two of our major thrusts. Approximately 2600\npredoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, clinical residents and fellows in\nspecialty programs have received training here. Our staff and trainees\nworked with 466 research programs and projects during the last fiscal\nyear. Research animals are bred at our Environmental Science Park and\ndistributed to the various medical units of The University of Texas\nSystem. It is planned to conduct numerous research projects on environ-\nmental carcinogens at this facility which was initiated in 1967.\nFORD GREATO LIBRARY\nfacts\nGENERAL BACKGROUND\nThe University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hos-\nfigures\npital and Tumor Institute is devoted to the diag-\nnosis, treatment, study and pre-\nvention of cancer. Basic research,\nas well as clinical investigation, is\nconducted primarily for use in im-\nproved patient care.\nIn late 1972, M. D. Anderson be-\nfunctions\ncame the flagship for the newly\ncreated University of Texas System Cancer Center. An Extramural Programs Division was estab-\nlished as part of the Center to coordinate cancer research at all UT biomedical components\nacross the State. The Division also maintains the UT Environmental Science Park near Smith-\nville.\nOver 110,000 patients have been admitted since the hospital opened. Patients have come from\nall 254 Texas counties, 49 American states and numerous nations. Approximately one-third of\nthem have been medically indigent Texans receiving free care. M. D. Anderson ranks as one of\nthe three major comprehensive cancer research and treatment centers in the Western Hemi-\nsphere.\nHISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS\nA state cancer hospital was authorized in 1941 by the act of the 47th Texas legislature and placed\nunder the jurisdiction of The University of Texas System Board of Regents.\nHouston's M. D. Anderson Foundation donated temporary housing and matching funds to the\nnew cancer hospital and research center in memory of Monroe D. Anderson, a prominent cotton\nbroker whose will established the foundation. The Anderson Foundation has generously partici-\npated in the funding of expanded facilities through the years. However, the cancer center is one\nof many institutions to which the foundation has contributed and its resources are now heavily\ncommitted in many other areas.\nPatient care began in 1944 with utilization of converted Army barracks located on an old estate\nnear downtown Houston and 28 leased beds in a local hospital.\nIn 1946, Dr. R. Lee Clark was named the hospital's first full-time director and surgeon-in-chief.\nHe was designated Anderson's first president in 1968, a post he held until he assumed the presi-\ndency of the UT System Cancer Center in 1972. Dr. Clark also serves on the three-member Presi-\ndent's Cancer Panel, which is responsible for overseeing implementation of the National Cancer\nAct of 1971.\nThe initial Anderson facility in the Texas Medical Center was begun in 1950 and opened in\nMarch 1954. The seventh floor on the hospital wing of the main building was expanded in\n1958.\nAnother major expansion, the Gimbel Building and Research Institute, was dedicated 1969,\ngiving the Anderson complex a total of 580,000 square feet.\nTHE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM CANCER CENTER\nM.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute\nSIGNIFICANT MEDICAL EVENTS\nA few outstanding events in the medical history of M. D. Anderson Hospital include:\nAnderson physicians and scientists designed and perfected the use of the cobalt-60 radio-\ntherapy unit in the United States. Today cobalt-60 teletherapy units, based on this original\ndesign, are in use at approximately 1,000 U.S. hospitals.\nA 25-million electron volt linear accelerator began operation at Anderson in 1971. Because\nof the high energy of the accelerator's photon beam, radiation penetrates more deeply, but\nproduces fewer superficial side effects, for the same end result in treating deep-seated\ntumors.\nAnderson began a joint cancer treatment program with Texas A & M University's Cyclotron\nCenter in late 1972. Research indicates that \"fast neutron\" therapy with the cyclotron should\nbe more effective than other types of radiation treatments in treating malignant tumors de-\nficient in oxygen. Preliminary results are promising in more than 300 patients treated with\n\"fast neutron\" therapy.\nVirus-like particles were first seen by an Anderson scientist in tissues of patients with leukemia.\nSubsequently, a team of Anderson virologists succeeded in isolating what is believed to be\na cancer virus from human tissue for the first time in 1971. The Type C virus particles were\noriginally obtained from a patient with Burkitt's lymphoma, then grown in a tissue culture.\nAn Anderson physician was among the first clinicians in the United States to use tissue\nadhesives in surgery for non-suture repair of body tissues.\nAnderson scientists perfected mammography, a technique for soft tissue roentgenography of\nthe breast, which is now used routinely at Anderson. Thermography, a technique that measures\nheat emanating from hidden tumors, is now being used in conjunction with physical examina-\ntions and xeromammography, a recent development in breast image recording. These three\ntechniques are used to survey patients for breast cancer at the Breast Cancer Detection Center\nat St. Joseph's Hospital.\nIn mid-1971, molecular biologists and geneticists on the staffs of M. D. Anderson and the UT\nGraduate School of Biomedical Sciences developed staining procedures that allow precise\nidentification of human chromosomes according to specific banding patterns. These techniques,\nwhich enable scientists to recognize and differentiate chromosomes, have allowed investiga-\ntors to identify chromosomal abnormalities in cancer cells and prove that each type of cancer\nhas its own chromosomal abnormality. The techniques, which are now used worldwide, also\nare used by scientists to pinpoint the causes of many birth defects.\nIn 1969, a group of Anderson scientists was one of the first in the United States to test\nthe effectiveness of adriamycin in treating certain cancers. Since that time, the researchers\nhave found that when this anti-cancer drug is used in combination with other drugs, it achieves\neven better results in containing breast, bone, lung and stomach cancer, soft tissue sarcoma\nand leukemia.\nSignificant progress recently has been made by Anderson physicians in the treatment of osteo-\ngenic sarcoma or bone cancer. In recent studies using intensive combination chemotherapy\nregimens, as many as 67 percent of patients with osteogenic sarcoma are free of disease after\ntwo years. Most physicians feel that patients with osteogenic sarcoma who are free of recurrent\ndisease for this length of time have excellent prospects for being considered cured.\nTreatment with potent anti-cancer drugs frequently reduces a patient's ability to ward off\neven common infections. Studies conducted by Anderson physicians have shown that patients\nwith certain types of cancer who are placed in sterile environments have a reduced risk of\nlife-threatening infections while they are receiving chemotherapy. It also has been shown that\nleukemia patients who stay in sterile environments have improved remission rates and longer\ndurations of survival.\nAnderson physicians were among the first to develop immunotherapy programs for treating\ncancer. They are studying materials such as BCG, a vaccine developed for prevention of tuber-\nculosis, which retards the spread of cancer by increasing the body's immune response. AI-\nthough BCG has proved to be highly successful against melanoma, adult leukemia, breast\ncancer and colon cancer, now Anderson physicians also are exploring additional immuno-\ntherapy modalities with extracts such as thymus hormones and bacterial vaccines to in-\ncrease immunity.\nFACILITIES\nM. D. Anderson is a 300-bed hospital with outpatient clinics where more than 600 persons are\ntreated daily.\nRadiation therapy facilities administer over 200 treatments daily. Radiotherapy equipment in-\ncludes a 25 MEV linear accelerator, two betatron units (18-million and 25-million electron volts),\nfive cobalt-60 units and a 250-kilovolt unit.\nTen operating rooms are equipped with monitors that transmit data on vital life signs during\ncritical periods of anesthesia and surgery.\nAnderson utilizes six laminar airflow rooms and two clear plastic bubbles in which beds are en-\nclosed. Both are types of sterile environments used to protect patients whose treatment for can-\ncer weakens their immunity to common infections, which could result in serious complications.\nThe Warren S. Bellows Memorial Laboratory, dedicated in 1969, houses the Xenon-133 System,\nwhich is used for measuring the human lung's ability to function.\nThe Robertson Memorial Clinical Laboratories, dedicated in 1972, contain automated equip-\nment for performing a wide variety of biochemical and hematological tests. At the heart of\nthe million-dollar system is a series of computers, which analyze test results, then sort them for\nuse in research studies.\nM. D. Anderson's Rehabilitation Center the first of its kind in the United States - offers\ncomplete physical, psychological, social and vocational services to recovering cancer patients. The\n110-bed facility is housed in the former Southern Pacific Railway hospital, donated to the\nUniversity in 1968. Following a $2,000,000 renovation, the center opened in 1972.\nThe Anderson Mayfair, located across Holcombe Boulevard from the hospital, is a patient-care\napartment hotel operated by Anderson Hospital. Guests may register there for admission to the\nAnderson clinic and many of their initial diagnostic tests can be given at the hotel.\nA $60,000,000 expansion project is currently under way which will more than double the size\nof existing Anderson facilities. When it is completed in late 1976, the complex will include:\nThe 14-floor Lutheran Hospital Pavilion providing 330 additional beds. Nine floors each con-\ntain 32 private rooms which surround triangular nursing stations to allow constant monitoring\nof every patient by the nursing staff. A newly engineered Enviro-Care unit surrounds the\nforward section of every patient's bed. The unit, specially designed for Anderson Hospital and\nsince used by other institutions, makes special light adjustments possible and includes a swing-\naway bedside cabinet that lets the patient communicate with the nursing staff and operate\nthe radio and television from his bed. The two top floors will house the Clinical Research Cen-\nter. This area serves as the institution's main facility for observation and testing of new findings\nimportant to better patient care. The center includes 20 individual laminar airflow rooms,\nwhere patients who may be especially susceptible to infections during treatment can be\nhoused in a protected sterile environment.\nA 12-floor Clinic Building which will house outpatient areas capable of accommodating 1,200\npersons daily. Facilities are being provided for diagnostic procedures, outpatient surgery,\nnuclear medicine, pediatrics and clinical chemistry. Also included are specialty areas organized\naccording to the site of disease, such as maxillofacial therapy, orthopedics, neurology and\ngynecology. For the first time conference and class rooms will provide adequate space for\nmedical and dental education.\nExpanded radiation therapy facilities that will add 23,500 square feet to Anderson's Radio-\ntherapy Center. New equipment will include two simulators, used to reproduce the treatment\nfield, as well as two additional 6 MEV linear accelerators.\nThe 6th and 7th floors which will be added to the existing Research Institute, Gimbel wing\nand center core area of the hospital. Research and laboratory space will be provided for\nareas such as pediatric research, biochemistry, developmental therapeutics, virology and\nimmunology. The two floors will add 100,000 square feet to the present Anderson facilities.\nA non-denominational chapel where counseling will be available to patients and their families.\nThe chapel will house Anderson's Department of Chaplaincy and Pastoral Education. Within\nthe chapel building are a small sanctuary designed around a center altar, a meditation area, six\nchaplain's offices, conference areas for family counseling, and workroom and offices for vol-\nunteers.\nEDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES\nSome 220 residents and pre- and postdoctoral fellows are currently in training at M. D. Anderson.\nThe hospital offers a variety of medical, dental and college student traineeships and a summer\nprogram in biomedical sciences for high school students.\nAllied health professional training! is conducted in blood bank technology, medical technology,\nexfoliative cytology, histology, inhalation therapy, x-ray technology, pharmacy, nursing, medical\nsocial service, dietetic services and cancer record registry.\nThe Research Medical Library subscribes to more than 1,021 periodicals and contains some 55,661\nvolumes, including departmental collections, in basic sciences and on diagnosis and treatment\nof neoplastic disease. The library also houses the Leland Clayton Barbee History of Cancer\nCollection.\nThe Department of Medical Communication aids educational programs and surgical and clinical\ndocumentation with still photography, television, motion pictures and art. Approximately\n600,000 items are catalogued in the audio-visual library.\nTwo annual education programs sponsored by Anderson Hospital have gained international\nprominence: the Symposium on Fundamental Cancer Research, established in 1946 to help\nscientists exchange information and discuss common problems in cancer research, and the Clini-\ncal Conference, begun in 1956 to provide physicians with current information on cancer of a\nspecific type or site.\nWith the National Academy of Sciences, M. D. Anderson hosted the 10th International Cancer\nCongress of the International Union Against Cancer. More than 6,000 physicians and scientists\nfrom 72 nations gathered in Houston for the week-long session in May, 1970.\n1/76\nFor immediate release\nMonday, Sept. 20, 1976\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nOffice of the Press Secretary to Mrs. Ford\nMrs. Ford will dedicate new facilities of the University of Texas\nM.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston Saturday, Oct. 2\nat 2 p.m. The new facilities will make the Hospital one of the world's\nlargest cancer centers.\nThe Hospital and Tumor Center is a part of the University of Texas\nsystem.

D. Anderson Hospital\nand Tumor Institute on the occasion of the dedication\nof your splendid new facilities.\nThe achievements of the M.D. Anderson Institute in\nthe field of cancer research are widely respected and\nhailed throughout the world.\nThe National Cancer Institute has in recent years rec-\nognized eighteen comprehensive cancer centers which\nwere charged with making the findings of cancer re-\nsearch more readily accessible to the practicing phy-\nsician, the patient and those at risk of cancer. More\nof these centers are planned throughout the country.\nIt is interesting to note that, of these eighteen or-\nganizations, only three were shown to have already\nmet the rigid criteria demanded for this designation.\nM.D. Anderson was one of the three.\nIt was no accident that Dr. R. Lee Clark, the head\nof the Anderson Institute and a man of demonstrated\naccomplishment, was appointed to the three-man\nPresident's Cancer Panel to keep me informed of the\nprogress and problems attending the operation of the\nNational Cancer Program.\nAll Texans can be justly proud of the role they play in\nthe national and international fight toward the elimina-\ntion of cancer forever.

Johnsonna\nSERVICE\nLIBRARY\nHouston, Political Background\nHouston is the fastest growing major metropolitan\narea in the country. Many of the big oil companies,\npetrochemical industries and electronics firms have\nmoved their headquarters to Houston.\nFour Congressional districts represent sections\nof the city. The 7th, whose first representative was\nGeorge Bush, includes almost all of Houston's rich\nwest side. The incumbent, Republican Bill Archer, is\nunopposed for re-election to a fourth term.\nThe 8th, which covers Houston's industrial east\nand northeast, is primarily white working class. The\nincumbent is liberal Democrat, Bob Eckhardt, who is\nrunning for a 6th term. Eckhardt, chairman of the\nDemocratic Study Group, is opposed by Republican Nick\nGearhart. Gearhart, a former Democrat and communications/\npr consultant, is getting strong support from the oil\ninterests, but he is given only an outside chance by\nthe Republican Congressional Committee of unseating\nEckhardt.\nThe 18th is Barbara Jordan's district. The population\nis 44 percent black. Jordan won in 1974 with 86 percent of\nthe vote. Republican Sam Wright is considered a sacrific FORD\ncandidate.\nThe real contest in Houston is in the 22nd District\nWhen Democrat Bob Casey resigned, Republican Ron Paul won\nthe special election. Paul, an ob-gyn, is ultra-conservative.\nHe is expected to have a tough fight against Bob Gammage,\nwho ran against him in thespecial. The 22nd includes the\nproperous, middle-class suburbs of south Houston.

C. 20500\nDear Mrs. Ford,\nHow delighted we are that you will be the honored guest in\nHouston on October 2, 1976 at the dedication of the new\nfacilities of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital\nand Tumor Institute.\nTo insure that the information that you have is current, we\nare resending the Christmas cards designed by the children\nwho have cancer at M. D. Anderson along with a description\nof the \"Christmas Card Project\".\nFor the past two years, youngsters who have cancer\nand who are patients at The University of Texas M.\nD. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston\nhave designed Christmas cards to help themselves and\nother children at the hospital.\nWhat makes this program unique is that the children\ndesign their own cards and messages inside the card,\nwhile other organizations employ commercial artists.\nProceeds from the sale of the cards go directly back\nto all of the children to make their life in the\nhospital as \"home-like\" as possible by providing\nSEALO\nitems not made available by other funds.\nIn the past, cards have been sold by M. D. Anderson\nVolunteers to individuals throughout the Houston area.\nThis year, the project took on another dimension with\nthe participation of local businesses. We, as volunteers,\nhave been contacting Houston firms to seek their support\nof these children with cancer. The businesses have\nbeen very enthusiastic and have chosen to use the\nchildren's Christmas cards instead of commercial cards\nfor their clients.\nLast year 4,000 cards were sold in a four week period;\nthis year with the support of the Houston businesses,\nour anticipated sales are 450,000 cards.\nMrs. Gerald Ford\nSeptember 22, 1976\nPage Two\nMrs. Ford, how much it would mean to the children if perhaps\nyou could write a letter of encouragement to them. Your\npositive attitude toward the effects of cancer has been an\ninspiration to us all - young and old alike. I am especially\ngrateful for your support as I lost my five year old son, Jeff\non January 31st with cancer of the sinus.\nAs a final note, Mrs. Ford, we are enclosing a copy of an\narticle taken from the Houston Chamber of Commerce magazine\n(September issue) which we thought would be of interest to you.\nThank you very much for your time and interest; we are looking\nforward to this very special event on October 2nd and are in\nhopes that we may have the opportunity to meet you.\nSincerely,\nJanuy Jones\nCarol Groener\nJaney Jones\nCarol Groeneveld\n8289 Kingsbrook, #174\n9407 Westheimer\nHouston, Texas 77024 Houston, Texas 7\n(713)783-79\nM.

Clinical\nresearch departments utilize the knowledge gained from\nbasic research to improve patient care, believing that al-\nthough not all patients participate directly in clinical re-\nsearch, all benefit from it.\nThe Departments of Biochemistry, Molecular Carcino-\ngenesis, Developmental Therapeutics, Pathology, Pediat-\nrics and the Section of Experimental Animals are housed\non the new sixth and seventh floors. The space includes a\nnumber of special laboratories which represent the most\nadvanced and sophisticated construction and equipment\never available to the scientific community.\nSpecial precautions, such as separate air supply systems,\nhave been taken in many of the laboratories where poten-\ntially hazardous materials are studied.

In 1972, M. D. Anderson's radio-\ntherapy program was expanded again when a cooperative\nprogram was begun with Texas A&M University to treat\npatients with neutrons generated by the Variable Energy\nCyclotron for tumors which are resistant to conventional\nradiation therapy.\nNow two floors containing 23,500 square feet of space\nhave been added to the radiotherapy center incorporating\noffices, treatment areas, waiting and dressing rooms, and\nspace for additional radiotherapy equipment.

Using simulators instead of radiation ma-\nchines to take pretreatment films ensures that the radio-\ntherapy equipment is used to its maximum treatment po-\ntential.\nTwo six-million electron volt linear accelerators and a\n32-million electron volt accelerator of new design housed\nin the new area supplement the 25-million electron volt ac-\ncelerator already in operation at Anderson. The variable\nenergy electron accelerators produce multiple photon ener-\ngies which, because of the high energy of the beam, pene-\ntrate more deeply and produce fewer superficial side\neffects.\nThe new center's dosimetry section contains a small\ncomputer to ensure that correct doses of radiation are\nten\neleven\nThe Interdenominational\nM.

D. Anderson-Lutheran\nChapel, standing between the Lutheran Hospital Pavilion\nand the new Clinic Building, offers a true sanctuary where\npatients can remove themselves from the unfamiliar and\nunpredictable hospital atmosphere.\nThe Freeman-Dunn Sanctuary, donated by John S.\nDunn in honor of John H. Freeman and in memory of\nEdna Stewart Freeman and Mirtha G. Dunn, seats approxi-\nmately 100 persons. A high-peaked ceiling, oak-paneled\nwalls and stained glass windows reflect a quiet, tranquil\natmosphere. Four triangular sets of pews surround a cen-\nter marble altar, over which hangs an eight-foot stained\nglass light fixture. The triangular seating arrangement\nhelps unify smaller groups of worshipers sitting together.\nThe chapel is designed to allow easy access for patients\nin wheelchairs and walkers. Rows of seating in the sanc-\ntuary can be moved to allow room for stretchers.\nWheelchairs can be placed at the ends of pews.\nThe building houses Anderson's Department of Chap-\nlaincy and Pastoral Education. Six chaplain's offices, two\nsecretary areas, a conference room and a library contain-\ning study carrels provide space for chaplaincy personnel\nand chaplain-interns in training. Here counseling can be\nprovided for the patient and his anxious family, and a\nteaching program will help prepare young ministers for\nthe special challenge facing the hospital chaplain.\nThe chapel building also contains new facilities for\nthirteen\nTHE UNIVERSITY CANCER FOUNDATION\nTHE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM BOARD OF REGENTS\nBOARD OF VISITORS\nHONORARY MEMBERS\nASSOCIATE MEMBERS\nOFFICERS\nRobert Mosbacher, Chairman\nContinued\nContinued\nAllan Shivers, Chairman\nJohn S.
