C. Dear Dr. Marrs: As a recognized leader in the field of aging, you are cordially invited to be a delegate to our national "Symposium on Participative Management in Nursing Homes." The Department of Health Care Administration at George Washington University is co-sponsoring this significant event with AHCA which will be held on the University campus here in Washington, D. C., June 11-12, 1975. This conference will seek to examine the problems of long-term health care from many perspectives. For this reason we are only inviting the participation of a limited number of recognized professionals from disciplines. It will be their mission to address these problems and, hopefully, recommend workable solutions which can be implemented in the context of the individual professions as well as through changes in public policy. This goal is to be accomplished through a number of small workshop sessions. It is our intention to publish the proceedings and recommendations of this symposium and to make broad distribution of the report. Specifically, we invite your participation in one of the workshops listed on the back page of the attached program. You will find an RSVP card enclosed. Since enrollment will be limited, please advise us as soon as possible if you are able to attend. As a final note, we are pleased to announce that Senator Frank E. Moss, Chair man of the Senate Subcommittee on Long-Term Care, will be delivering the keynote address. Also, Dr. Arthur Flemming, U.S. Commissioner on Aging, will make an address at the conclusion of this two-day symposium. We sincerely hope you can join us in this effort to find solutions to the needs of our infirm elderly. Yours truly, Jun Matzeg Leon Gintzig, Ph.D. Way Wiley E. M.

Several towns and cities have ready put them to use. But much more remains to be done. Thousar of lives could be saved each year. We hope your busy schedule will permit y to join us for the buffet from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and the seminar fm 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. The buffet will be hearty and the seminar v/ informative. :dially, enneth M.
