The delegation is not finally set yet but I think it
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
will include William Green, Harvey Brown, Jim Carey, Robert
Channing Frothingham, M.D.
Thomas Addis, M.D.
Wagner, Jr., and perhaps Morris Cook. Unfortunately most of
Barry Bingham
our better names are out of the country or in the far west.
Ernest P. Boas, M.D.
Wayne Chatfield-Taylor
If there is room within the limits of six or seven, we will
Morris Llewellyn Cooke
include Chat Paterson, Executive Director of the Committee,
John J. Corson
Mrs. Gardner Cowles
and Michael M. Davis, who drafted the report.

We hear rumors that the Taft bill will be introduced

today or tomorrow. If it is, we should arrange somehow to
Carl C. Lang
Mrs. Albert D. Lasker
slant this report at the Taft bill, which it really undercuts
John V. Lawrence, M.D.
very neatly. This could be done by having our delegation, when
Mrs. Adele Levy
Mrs. Florence Mahoney
it comes out from the President, tell the reporters that the
Dorothy Norman
President felt this report sounded a death knell for the Taft

bill or something of that kind. of course, if the President
Anna M. Rosenberg
doesn't care to be quoted on it, we could just have our delega-
V. Henry Rothschild, 2nd
Robert F. Wagner, Jr.
tion make a statement of that kind, but it would not be so

effective.

Matthew Woll
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
We are sending a copy of this report to Charles Murphy
Chat Paterson
for use in the message if he cares to.
PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTOR
Nathan Robertson
Thank you very much for all your cooperation on this
LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE
thing, which we hope is going to give a good send-off not
Margaret Stein
only to this report but to others which are coming along
34
behind it, some of which are also very good stories. I assume,
not having heard anything from you, that there is no chance
for the President to do anything on the "penny for a dollar"
campaign. If there is any chance, it should come shortly
after he submits his message to Congress.
Best regards,

America needs "a system of pre-paid medical insurance which will enable Americans to afford
good medical care without further delay." -President Harry S. Truman, January 5, 1949.
