WILLIAM D. HASSETT
Dear Bill:
The enclosed letter of November 30 addressed to the
President by Dr. Channing Frothingham regarding the status
of the national health insurance proposal was referred by
you to the Federal Security Administrator for acknowledgment.
Even though considerable time has elapsed since
Dr. Frothingham wrote, we believe that it would be desirable
and appropriate for the reply to be made by the President.
Dr. Frothingham, an eminent physician, is a leading advocate
of the health insurance proposal, and has given effective
demonstration of his belief by serving as Chairman of the
Board of the Committee for the Nation's Health. This
committee, as you know, has been one of several private
organizations that have given unstinted support to the
President's health program.
For such help as it may be, we are taking the liberty
of enclosing a suggested draft reply for the President to
Dr. Frothingham.
Sincerely yours,
Oscar R. Ewmy
Administrator
