Dear Dr Ted Marrs:
A small group of us who work in the Washington area feel a need to
establish a monthly forum for senior and middle-level professionals. The
basic purpose of such a forum would be to explore current issues in some
depth, including the moral and ethical principles of sound and meaningful
professional relationships. In this regard, we envision having a speaker
address each meeting who would share with us the personal motivations under-
lying his own endeavors in the professional sphere. While the central theme
will primarily focus on professional excellence, the meetings themselves
will have a spiritual underpinning that will undoubtedly provide the basis
for some of the following discussion.
We would like very much to have you join us at our first meeting on
Tuesday, October 1, 1974, with Senator Mark 0. Hatfield scheduled as our
speaker. Mark will be talking to us about some of the struggles he has
undergone in resolving differences between his personal convictions and
those he views as the will of his constituency.
The luncheon meeting will begin at 12:00 noon at The Army-Navy Club,
1627 I Street, N.W. at Farragut Square. The cost will be $5.95 per person.
We will need to know by Friday, September 20, if you will be able to attend.
We ask that you include your remittance with your acceptance slip in the
enclosed envelope. If, for some reason, you should have to cancel at the
last minute, it is doubtful that we would be able to make a refund for we
are charged for each place setting.
As attendance will be on an invitation basis only, you are urged to
send your acceptance to: J. Scott McBride, c/o Applied Marketing, Inc.,
2030 M Street, N.W., Suite 401, Washington, D. C. 20036. If you have any
questions, please call me at OX 5-0954.
We sincerely hope that you can be with us to share in what we feel
will be a very meaningful experience.
Sincerely,
Dong

Dear Doc:
My wife Maggie thinks that the four of us ought to get
together. She readily agrees on the City Tavern Club at 3206
M Street, Georgetown (next door to Rive Gauche). We would like
to offer you a 7:30 p.m. dinner on Friday, November 8, Saturday,
November 9 or Sunday, November 10.
I thought the new National Commander of The American Legion,
James M. Wagonseller, turned out a good crowd to his Washington
Press, Radio and Television reception. You honored the Commander
by your presence, and certainly your many years of identification
with The American Legion, both in the Pentagon and White House, is
appreciated by all of us.
Could you have your secretary call me and tell me which date
suits the Marrs?

MEDICAL INSURANCE
7
Group Life--Optional (Production employees): $15,000 life, $15,000 AD&D; cost $6.00 per month
shared equally by employee and company. (Clerical-Managerial): Graduated life and AD&D ben-
efits; cost $2.95 - $8. 85 paid by employee. (Large western transportation company)
MEDICAL INSURANCE
Nearly all -- 98 percent of the PPF companies have hospital and surgical insurance benefits for
all groups of employees. These figures are up slightly from the 1969 survey when such plans covered 97
percent of production employee groups, and 94 percent of office and management groups.
Two major changes over the past five years have been the growth in major medical coverage and
the number of comprehensive plans which combine the basic hospital and major medical benefits under
one plan. As indicated by the figures in Table 1, more than three quarters 77 percent of production
employee groups now have major medical plans; this compares to 64 percent in 1969. Coverage of office
employees went to 91 percent from 82 percent in 1969, and for management employees the 1974 figure is
93 percent compared to 85 percent in 1969. Less than one eighth of the companies responding to the 1969
survey had comprehensive plans; in the present survey, one half the companies have such plans for office
and management groups and 45 percent have them for production employees.
Hospital/Surgical Insurance
Nearly all employees become eligible for hospital benefits by the time they have been on the pay-
roll three months (see Table 3), and many of them are eligible the first day on the job; first-day eligibility
more likely to be the case for management employees (24 percent) than for production (14 percent) or
office employees (17 percent). About one third of the companies specify permanent, full-time employ-
ment as a requirement for hospital/surgical insurance.

1/ Percentages add to more than 100 because of multiple responses.
2/ Percentages are of those companies in which employees share in the cost.
3/ Percentages are of those companies providing dependent coverage.
4/ Percentages are of those companies providing maternity benefits.
5/ Percentages are of those companies having a maximum on maternity benefits.
Costs of hospital/surgical insurance are shared by employees in 36 percent of the production
groups, 39 percent of office, and 37 percent of management groups. Apparently there has been relatively
little change in this regard over the past five years; the comparable 1969 figures are 38 percent for pro-
duction, 39 percent for office, and 38 percent for management.
MEDICAL INSURANCE
9
Dependent coverage is available in nearly all the companies; in about one tenth of the firms, the
employer pays the full cost of dependent coverage, and in more than one fourth the employee pays the
full cost.
The percentage of the cost for individual or dependent coverage sometimes varies, depending on
the employee's length of service or pay rate. For example:
Individual member pays 100% of premium during probationary period (90 days), 50% from three
months to one year, nothing after one year. Family member pays 100% of premium during pro-
bationary period (90 days), 50% from three months to one year, 33. 3% after one year. (Small
eastern hospital)
Hourly and salaried employees pay total cost of selected coverage during first year of employ-
ment. After one year's service, employer funds cost of individual basic program plus Option.
(Large eastern university)
Under our Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plan the following is a rate schedule showing the amounts paid
by the employee and the employer:

(Large central insurance company)
Employee share and employer share of the premium payments vary according to wage levels
with the employer paying a higher percentage of the premium for lower paid jobs. For example,
on a wage scale of one to ten the employer share of the premium varies from 76. 3% for wage
group one to 66.5% for wage group ten for dependent coverage. (Large central manufacturing
company)
Extra hospital charges are covered in about four fifths of the plans (in 1969, 94 percent of the
plans covered hospital extras), and maternity benefits are provided in 98 percent (compared to 100 per-
cent in 1969). A maximum total benefit for maternity cases is specified in two thirds of the plans, and
in more than one half this maximum is $500 or less for a normal delivery; often a higher amount if allow-
ed for Caesarian delivery or other complications.
Deductible features of the hospitalization plans are indicated by less than one half the respond-
ents; the most common arrangement is for the first $50 to be deductible and the remainder paid 20 percent
by the employee and 80 percent by the plan; in a couple of plans, the insurance company pays the first
$1,000 of covered expenses and 80 percent of costs above that amount.
Hospital/surgical coverage is provided by local Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans for 41 percent of
production employee groups, 43 percent of office groups, and 42 percent of management. These figures
are somewhat higher than those for 1969, which were 34 percent for production, 29 percent for office, and
30 percent for management. Most of the remaining plans are through insurance carriers; only three per-
cent of the companies self-insure hospital benefits. Benefits are provided under some other arrangement,
either a union plan or a local health maintenance organization (HMO), for 7 percent of production groups,
5 percent of office, and 4 percent of management groups.
A difficulty concerning the kind of plan used for hospital benefits is discussed by one PPF mem-
ber, as follows:
I think a major problem today is that large corporations negotiate fringe benefits at the V.P. level
(and above). Frequently, administration of these plans at the grass roots (plants) falls down. A
small local hospital with no first-hand knowledge of the corporation's insurance carrier is likely
to demand admission deposits. Local Blue Cross would be far easier. But headquarters, usually
a 1,000 miles away in a large city, frequently fails to comprehend the problem. Result? Em-
ployee dissatisfaction with the plan and union agitation for something better. (Small eastern
manufacturing plant)
10
EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS
One small employer with no formal plan for medical insurance does help with some costs. The
Personnel Manager describes the process as follows:
The company does not have health insurance covering employees and their dependents. However,
employees who have been with the company one calendar year are reimbursed annually for allow-
allowable medical expenses. The employee must pay the first $100.00. When the employee has
insurance, he is reimbursed for medical expenses in excess of those defrayed by the insurance
program less the $100.00 deduction. (Small southern trade company)
Major Medical Insurance
Coverage and features of the major medical plans in effect at the PPF companies are indicated by
the figures in Table 4. Compared to basic hospital plans, the costs of major medical benefits are some-
what more likely to be shared by the employee and the percentage paid by the employee is likely to be high-
er. Major medical is paid for entirely by the employee in 6 percent of production groups and in 9 percent
of office and management groups, whereas the employer pays at least some of the cost of basic hospital
benefits for all employee groups in all companies with hospital/surgical plans.

1/ Percentages add to more than 100 because of multiple responses.
2/ Percentages are of those companies in which employees share in the cost.
3/ Percentages are of those companies providing dependent coverage.
An important feature of most major medical plans is a stipulation of a maximum amount of benefits
per disability, per year, and/or per lifetime of the insured. As the figures in Table 4 (4) show, the most
common maximum is in terms of per lifetime and the amount specified is $50,000 or less in more than
one half the plans.
The most common deductible arrangement is for the insured to pay the first $100 of covered ex-
penses, compared to the most common $50 deductible for basic hospital/surgical plans, and 80 percent-
20 percent coinsurance above that. Deductible features are indicated for about nine out of ten major med-
ical plans compared to less than half of the basic medical plans.
Comprehensive Medical Plans
Comprehensive medical plans combining basic hospital/surgical benefits and major medical bene-
fits cover production employees in 45 percent of the responding companies, office employees in 50 per-
cent, and management employees in 51 percent (see Table 1). No separate analysis was made of the
features of comprehensive plans, except for the cost figures reported below. The features of the hospital/
surgical coverage of comprehensive plans are included in the data reported in Table 3 and those for the
major medical coverage in the data for Table 4.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS
Costs of Medical Insurance
More than three fourths of the personnel executives provided figures on how much it costs the
employer to provide medical insurance benefits for employees. These figures are summarized in
Table 5, covering plans paid for entirely by the company, and in Table 6, covering plans for which the
employee pays part or all of the cost. In both tables the figures are on the basis of how much the employ-
er pays per employee per month.

The data indicate that there is a wide range for the amounts paid by employers for medical insur-
ance, and they seem to be slightly higher for plans covering production employees than for office or man-
agement groups. Looking at the median costs paid, it appears that employers with comprehensive plans
pay less than employers providing hospital/surgical and major medical under two separate plans. The
costs for comprehensive are only slightly more than the costs reported for hospitalization only.
Because the figures used for Table 6 include those from all companies in which employees pay any
percentage of the benefit costs, the data do not provide any indication of the total costs of the plans. They
do indicate, however, how much the company itself pays to provide the benefits listed.
A "cost plus" arrangement for paying for Blue Cross medical insurance is reported by one PPF
member. Here is the way it works:
It is a cost plus plan which in effect is a self insured program with Blue Cross administering our
money for a 10% fee. In addition we are re-insured for any losses over and above $360K annually.
Therefore it is impossible to compute any dollar amount paid for employees' and dependents'
"premiums." We deposit a certain amount of dollars each month for the insurance company to
spend. The plan is very new and we have no way of appraising it at this time. (Small western
manufacturing company, division of large nationwide corporation)
A similar arrangement reported by another employer covers hospital/surgical, major medical,
and sickness and accident disability benefits, as follows:
The company is operating under an "excess plan" contract with insurance company, paying 10% of
estimated insurance costs. Payment for each unit of coverage $5.64 per month. (Large central
manufacturing company)
Other Medical Insurance Plans
Respondents were asked to check if they provide any of the benefits listed in Table 7 and to list any
other types of medical benefits offered their employees, As indicated, dental insurance is provided for
production employees in 9 percent of the PPF companies, office employees in 12 percent, and management
employees in 13 percent. While these figures are not high, in 1969 dental coverage was offered in only
two percent of the responding companies to any employees. Drug insurance plans cover 13 percent of the
production employee groups (a number of these are part of a union plan), and 9 percent of both office and
management groups. Eye care insurance is found in only 3 percent of the companies.

Other types of medical benefits, noted by one respondent each, are "diagnostic outpatient care,
and "we offer employees the privilege of purchasing Cancer and Intensive Care Insurance at their own
expense."
Health Maintenance Organizations
At the time the survey questionnaire was mailed, the federal Health Maintenance Organization Act
of 1973 had been passed but no regulations implementing the law had been promulgated. The law specifies
that if there is a qualified HMO in the area, employees covered by medical benefits are to be given an op-
tion to be enrolled in the HMO with the employer paying whatever amount is paid for the medical insurance
now provided.
To find out the potential effect of the new law on PPF companies, respondents were asked if there
is an HMO in the vicinity of their workplace, and if so, is enrollment in the HMO offered as part of their
medical benefits. Less than one fourth (23 percent) of the responding companies are located in an area
with an HMO, and of these, less than one third currently offer HMO participation. One PPF member
whose organization does offer HMO enrollment indicates the way it works as follows:
The employer pays the entire cost of the health insurance plan carried by Blue Cross-Blue Shield
($17.50) per month. A like amount is contributed toward the employee premium for the Kaiser
HMO insurance. The employee must pay the balance of the employee premium, or $3.36 per
month. (Large western school district)
Several respondents note that they antitipate offering HMO coverage as required by law. For
example:
We understand that guidelines are to be issued soon by HEW on HMO's. Considering that we may
therefore have to offer an HMO as an alternate plan, we would then have to make that change ac-
cording to the law. (Small western manufacturing company)
SICKNESS AND ACCIDENT DISABILITY INSURANCE
Benefits to tide employees over during periods of disability caused by sickness or accident are
provided in a wide variety of arrangements, ranging from paid sick leave where the employer merely
continues an employee's pay for a certain period of time in the event of accident or illness, to short-term
sickness and accident insurance plans (which are required by law in a few states), to long-term disability
(LTD) plans. The present survey does not cover sick leave provisions.

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
1. The next meeting of the Board of Commissioners is scheduled for
December 16 and 17, 1974, Westerner Motel Inn, Farmington, New
Mexico. The necessary committee meetings need to be scheduled
for Sunday, December 15, 1974, at the same location.
2. The Commissioner vacancy created by the change in status of
Taylor McKenzie, M.D., will need to be filled and should be a
matter of discussion at the next Board meeting.
3. Attached is a copy of the tentative agenda for the next Board
meeting.
EXECUTIVE OFFICES:
1. The Executive Director and Dr. John Schaefer, Board member, met
with the Flagstaff community to review their capabilities in
relation to the American Indian School of Medicine. Minutes of
that meeting are submitted.
2. The Executive Director rendered a presentation to the National
FORD
Indian Education Association Convention in Phoenix, Arizona,
November 12, 1974.
GERALD
3. Executive Director attended two AAMC meetings in Chicago during
the month of November.
4. Mr. Ed. Perkins attended a meeting of the United Southeastern
Tribes Tribal Chairmen and this body is now on record supporting
the American Indian School of Medicine and would very much like
to become involved in the American Indian School of Medicine
project.
MEDICAL SCHOOL PLANNING:
1. The Executive staff is involved in the development of a statement
describing the role of the Joint Interagency Liaison Committee of
federal agencies (BIA, IHS, VA) for their review at the next meeting
to occur in early December.
2. The Executive staff is to meet with a group of senators re: the
American Indian School of Medicine in early December.
-2-
3. The Medical School Planning Committee has conducted its second
meeting and a report of these meetings will be submitted. The
following assignments carried out.
(a) Additional information and data on the Flagstaff
Community and the capabilities of NAU for the
accreditation of the American Indian School of
Medicine obtained.
(b) Update of space and cost needs for the American
Indian School of Medicine obtained.
(c) The issue of the effect of traditional and cultural
influences on the medical school performance of
American Indian medical students further discussed.
(d) It is apparent that two things must occur in pre-
paration for the development of the American Indian
School of Medicine and needs early attention and
action:
1. The clinical facilities and capabilities
on the Navajo Reservation need to be up-
graded to accommodate medical education.
2. Postgraduate training program (Family
Practice Residency Program) needs to be
in place, operational and accredited.
4. The Executive staff continues to attempt to identify sources of
funding for the operation of the Development Office and Medical
School Planning. The Kellogg Foundation is reticent to provide
support until there is evidence that others will also agree to
become involved, particularly the federal government. The
Kaiser Foundation is also interested and will entertain a pro-
posal, but is also, understandably, somewhat reticent.
AHEC DIVISION:
1. Continuing Education Program: Developmental team site visitation
to 10 service. units on Navajo, Hopi and Zuni have been completed.
Members of the developmental team included: Dr. John Condon, Dr.
Milan Novak, Dr. Dan Smith, Ms. Mary Jane Welty, Ms. Jan Miner,
Dr. Apgar, Dr. Pennington and Bob DeFelice. The intent of these
site visits was to gather relevant data on continuing educational
needs and appropriate methodologies to be utilized in providing
programs.
-3-
The next step will be to present Area Office and each Service Unit
with the results of our findings as well as a proposed continuing
education program schedule for their review and comment. After
approval and revision, it is anticipated that the initial sessions
will begin by mid January 1975 and continue throughout the entire
year.
2. Newsletter: Although a bit late, the NHA Baa' Hani' reached the
press and was circulated on November 20, 1974, to our over 800
subscribers throughout the United States. Editorial planning for
the January issue will commence in a few weeks.
3. The NCC-NHA Health and Human Services Task Force has been meeting
to discuss the establishment of allied health training programs
at NCC.
4. A joint working committee has been established with Indian Health
Service to improve the situation regarding health data. This com-
mittee met on two occasions during November to develop a plan and
approach. The features of this plan are:
(a) To attempt to standardize all health reporting formats
(likely to convert all to the IHS automated data system).
(b) To develop linkages with all private, state and federal
systems reporting or receiving health data.
(c) To determine overlap in reporting and gaps in reporting.
(d) To initiate a comprehensive data base using available
resources.
5. Staff time was spent on the development of two proposals:
(a) Use of Traditional Healing Ways in the Treatment
of Alcoholism.
(b) A proposal for the planning of a Tribal Health
Department.
6. Staff attended a two-day conference at the Gallup Indian Medical Center
to discuss the future of the Radiological and Certified Laboratory
Assistants Training Programs. It is the position of NHA that these
programs should be linked to Navajo Community College.
-4-
7. Dr. Pennington, Dr. Kaltenbach and Mr. Phil Longhurst met with
Dean, the University of Utah School of Nursing concerning
possible future linkages between the Family Practice Residency
and the University of Utah School of Nursing Training Program
at Shiprock.
8. The Office of Preventive Medicine continued to provide direction
for the Navajo Streptoccocal Disease Control Program.
9. Continued correspondence with prospective faculty is occurring.
Will meet with a family physician, December 2 in Portland,
Oregon, during Clinical Session of AMA and make arrangements for
a site visit. An internist will make a site visit here December
16. Another internist will be invited for a site visit shortly
thereafter. Advertisement for MCH Director-Pediatrician have
been placed.
10. Final negotiations are in process for a memorandum of agreement
with the Area Office, IHS, regarding use of Shiprock Service Unit
for the Family Practice Residency Program.
11. Exploration of incorporation of NHSC physician into the residency
program at Teec Nos Pos is underway. Supporting documents have
been submitted to NCHPA for consideration at their December 9-10,
1974, meeting. If approved, the proposal will be submitted to
the San Francisco Regional Office, DHEW, for obtaining such a
placement July 1975.
12. Counselor-Administrator Workshop: The staff sponsored a counselor-
administrator workshop at the Window Rock High School on November 7,
1974. The purposes of the workshop were to provide the participants
equal recognition of unmet health needs and to allow the participants
an input to establish a system that can best identify entry barriers
of our Indian students into health fields, and attempt to devise
strategies that can erase those barriers. The workshop was designed
to serve this purpose and the staff felt that their intention was
achieved. The counselors and administrators seemed to have recognized
the need to encourage Indian students to enter health fields in order
to correct deplorable health care. Further, responsible individuals
(administrators) seemed to have recognized a need to improve school
systems, so that the school systems may meet the unique needs and thus
better prepare students for post high school education. The Office
of Student Affairs staff was very impressed with outstanding speeches
delivered by Dr. Taylor McKenzie, Dr. Annie Wauneka, and Carl Gorman.
The workshop was attended by 80 counselors, 10 school administrators,
and approximately 95 students. Approximately 30 schools were
represented from throughout the Navajo Reservation, as well as border-
town schools, such as Flagstaff, Richfield, Albuquerque, and Farmington.
-5-
The workshop was a success such that it was able to reflect the
importances of understanding the patterns of the Navajo culture;
the participated counselors and administrators felt it was
essential to understand the behavioral patterns, beliefs, and
customs of their "clients."
13. Ned Hatathli American Indian Student Seminar: The staff has also
been extensively involved in planning for the Ned Hatathli American
Indian Student Seminar at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
The seminar is tentatively scheduled for February 7 and 8, 1975.
The University of Arizona faculty and students agreed to co-sponsor
the seminar and they have already erected a committee to pursue
this project. The wishes of the committee are to invite Indian
health professionals from different parts of the country, as well
as representatives from health organizations within the area.
Approximately 400 high school students are expected to attend the
seminar. The Office of Student Affairs will appropriate $4,000
toward this project and will also continue to assist the University
of Arizona committee in locating other funding sources.
14. Pre-Collegiate Program: The Pre-Collegiate Program continues to
pursue the goals and objectives by its continued undertaking of
significant innovative activities directed at creating opportunities
for entry into health. Mr. Julius Pete continues to establish
positive relationships with surrounding schools by participating
in their career days or merely by talking to their students.
Numerous schools were visited last month, but only two schools were
visited this month because of heavy administrative demands at the
office. Mr. Pete is preparing a plan of operations to undertake
a study leading to disclosure of barriers contributing to limited
entries into health. Despite the unique and meaningful activities
being initiated by the Pre-Collegiate Office, recent news was
received that Macy Foundation may discontinue funding this program
after its initial year of operation. Efforts have begun to locate
and obtain adequate funding elsewhere to continue the program.
15. Scholarship Program: Numerous hours were devoted to preparation for
the scholarship meetings on December 2, 1974. The staff spent a
number of hours examining the budget for student support to determine
how much money was available and to determine how many students
NHA will be able to assist during the Spring semester of 1975. The
Scholarship Committee met on December 2 to consider 6 applicants,
as well as to review AHEC contract as a result of the charges made
by the AHEC Regional Office pertaining to "managerial deficiencies."
Four requests for financial assistance were approved while two
requests were tabled until the next meeting on December 30. Many
-6-
more college students are expected to apply for financial
assistance over the Christmas vacation. It was estimated by
the staff that approximately $50,000 is still available for
the Spring semester of 1975. Furthermore, included in the
group for which requests were approved was Mrs. Loretta
Miller. Mrs. Miller will turn in her resignation at the end
of December to commence studies at one of UNM's branch
college in January. The staff regrets to lose an outstanding
staff member and it is only our hope that her position be
replaced by an individual of equal abilities and caliber.
NCHPA:
1. Correspondence from Gale A. Held, Acting Chief, Health Planning
Branch, Division of Resource Development, DHEW, Region IX,
acknowledges receipt and approval of requests regarding amend-
ments in the Notice of Grant Award for the program years 01 and
02. The changes also reflect that the Director of Project has
been amended to designate Cecil Patrick, M.P.H. in that position.
2. Negotiations regarding the $15,000 contract for District 1 with
the New Mexico Comprehensive Health Planning Council were finalized
and approval to accept this contract was granted by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Commissioners at their meeting, November
26, 1974. Mitchell Cordover, Writer/Editor for the NCHPA, has
been identified as the health planner for District 1.
3. The NCHPA Advisory Council Executive Committee met with Marlene
Haffner, M.D., Area Director, NAIHS, November 25, 1974, to discuss
planning coordination and cooperative arrangements between the
NCHPA and Indian Health Service. It was agreed that a memorandum
of understanding or agreement be prepared and presented to the full
Council. The next quarterly meeting of the Council was set for
December 10-11, 1974, at Chinle Community Center.
4. NCHPA staff and Advisory Council members attended a 1122 Project
Review Workshop in Santa Fe which was conducted by faculty of the
Tulane University School of Public Health.
5. NCHPA staff participated in an informative discussion with
representation of the Hopi Tribal Health Department regarding
coordination of health planning activities involving the Hopi
Nation. A follow-up meeting is being scheduled with the Health
Committee of the Hopi Tribal Council as a prelude for a pre-
sentation to the full Council.
-7-
6. NCHPA staff assigned to the Chinle area established liaison
with the Northern Arizona Council of Governments health
planning staff for the purposes of developing and documenting
areas of cooperation and definition of areas of responsibility.
7. The Standing Committees of the Advisory Council met to review
their specific areas of responsibilities as stated in the Work
Program and their Plans of Operation. Time frames for completion
of activities have been developed.
8. Activities for the establishment of a subarea council have been
initiated in the Chinle area. Focal point for these activities
is the Community Health Planner's Office situated at the Chinle
Community Center. A joint meeting of Tribal, PHS, ONEO, and
Chapter Officials has been scheduled. Similar community organization
activities will be implemented in the eastern portion of the planning
area.
9. Technical assistance and information was provided to the Navajo
Nation Family Planning Program, Inc., Navajo Nation's Environmental
Protection Commission and to NHA's Family and Community Medicine
Residency Program. DBBAY, Inc., and the Kayenta Health Board have
indicated their desire to request planning assistance from the NCHPA.
10. The development of a uniform data base reporting system received
impetus as a result of a series of meetings with the:
(a) Arizona Bureau of Health Statistics;
(b) New Mexico RMP, Health Manpower Registry, Hill-Burton,
Health & Social Services, Medicaid, and the "A" Agency;

Dear Colonel Gustafson:
Thank you so much for your invitation to be guest of honor
and speaker at your Dining-Out on Friday evening, February
21, 1975. When I talked with T/Sgt. Ben McCarter on the
telephone I noted that my calendar was open and that I would
like to accept your invitation. However, since then I have
been invited to attend a reception honoring the President
on that evening and this happens to be an event whi I must
attend because of protocol.
It is with sincere regret that I have to decline your invitation
both for myself and for Mrs. Marrs. Please keep us in mind
for something in the future.
Sincerely,
Theodore C. Marrs

Dear Dr. Marrs:
This is an invitation to be our Guest of Honor at a Dining-Out
planned for Friday evening 21 February 1975. We appreciate your expression
of interest in response to recent telephone calls from TSgt Ben McCarter,
our Detachment Sgt Major.
This year's Dining-Out varies from a Dining-In in that cadets may
bring wives, girlfriends, parents, etc. As our Guest of Honor you will also
be the Guest Speaker. Speech lengths in the past, at successful events,
have varied from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. We think you have a message of
vital importance for the group that our Dining-Out will attract. The experi-
ences that you have had, and the level of people who were involved, should
be of special interest.
The event is tentatively scheduled with a cocktail hour from seven
to eight p.m., after which the program will begin. You and your lady, of
course, will be our guests. We expect an audience of 150 to 200 people
including cadets, our staff, their guests and some officials of the Univ-
ersity and other active and retired military people in the area.
Major John Lighter, our Commandant of Cadets, will be in contact
with you later, should there be any variance in plans, to appraise you of
expected guests, to confirm size of the audience and to give you directions
to the Washingtonian Country Club. Since he is the person who will be work-
ing most closely with the Dining-Out, you should feel free to contact him
at 454-3242 or 454-3245 if you have any questions.
We very much appreciate your interest and assistance in furthering
the general education of our future Air Force officers.
Sincerely,

Dear Jack:
I thought you would be interested in the attached letter from
Mr. Kosygin's son-in-law which arrived belatedly because of the
mail strike. It seems to underline some of the things that I have
been discussing with you.
I plan to be in Washington during the week of February 2, on 2, 3
and 4. If you or Dr. Marrs are free for lunch, I would be happy to
have the opportunity of visiting with you at that time or at some other
time. I will be in touch with Ambassador Feldman to see if we can
match our trips.

I have enjoyed staying in the comfortable "Pierre" and
was alway glad to have your company, advice and help throughout
the whole of the trip.
I look forward to seeing you in future since a lot has been

Dear Mr. Marrs:
I most cordially invite you and your lady to attend International
Paper's annual Reception and Buffet in Washington. It will be held on
Wednesday, March 12th beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Presidential Ballroom
of the Statler Hilton Hotel on 16th Street.
International Paper's Chairman and Chief Executive, J. Stanford
Smith, and other members of our senior management will be present, as will
be a number of distinguished attorneys who represent our interests around
the country. Guests will include Administration officials responsible for
government policies affecting International Paper, and Senators and Con-
gressmen from the many areas of the country where we have operations.
We believe it is essential in our form of government that you who
govern and we who are governed have an opportunity to meet and talk from
time to time in an informal and friendly atmosphere, away from the pres-
sures of business. There will be no speeches, and the reception and
dinner concludes early for the convenience of our busy guests. The recep-
tion opens at 5:30 p.m., and the buffet is ready by 7:00 p.m., but there
is no binding schedule or timetable.
I certainly hope you both can join us on the evening of March 12th.
A reply card is enclosed for your convenience. Looking forward to seeing
you.
Sincerely,
