Dear Ted:
For the first time in years, the NCRND annual meeting
will be held in Washington to coincide with the 25th
anniversary celebration of the National Institute of
Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke.
NINCDS will have a symposium at 2 o'clock, Saturday
afternoon at NIH and a dinner that evening at the Chevy
Chase Holiday Inn.
However, on behalf of the National Committee it is my
pleasure to ask you to attend our meeting on Friday,
November 21 -- either afternoon or evening session. We
will meet at the National Press Club at 2:30.
This note is merely to acquaint you with the schedule
and hopefully to note same on your schedule. I'll have
more interesting details shortly, and will present them
to you so that you might take advantage of meeting with
representatives of the almost 50 professional and
voluntary groups which make up the NCRND "serving an
estimated 40 million individuals burdened by disabling
neurological and communicative disorders and stroke."
We appreciate your interest and welcome your cooperation.
Sincersly,
Va. John P. Cosgrove

HEW has asked NHC to sponsor a joint briefing on this subject.
We agreed to extend our program as bllows: Our morning session
will be identical to what was originally planned. It will pro-
vide an overview of implementation from different perspectives
(governors, health groups, federal officials), and provide a re-
view of the newly-released HSA regulations. Questions and answers
will be encouraged, as usual, at the conclusion of the discussion.
In addition, however, an afternoon session will also be available
for those who wish to discuss the regulations in greater detail
with HEW officials. HEW has invited additional health groups to
the full day's meeting. Therefore, the audience is likely to be
somewhat larger than usual, and include a number of associations
which are not members of NHC. Some of you may receive an invi-
tation from HEW as well.

THE WALLACE AWARD
In 1970 The American Scottish Foundation established the annual
Wallace Award as a distinctive and prestigious means of reminding the
American people - and especially the 22 million Americans of Scottish
descent - of the extraordinary contributions made by the Scots to
the United States. For well over three centuries, the Scots in America
have made major contributions of character and material achievement
to American life and society.
The Award is named in honor and memory of Sir William Wallace,
Scottish patriot and leader 1270 - 1313. The Wallace Award is pre-
sented annually to leading Americans of Scottish birth or descent who
have made a significant contribution or rendered distinguished service
to the United States. Since 1970, fifteen Americans have been honored
by the Award.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Marrs:
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America takes great pride in extending
to you the accompanying invitation to a concert of the Ukrainian Byzantine
Choir of Utrecht, Holland. Enclosed is a press release giving further infor-
mation relevant to the performance.
We have extended invitations to those individuals who we believe are familiar
with Ukrainian culture and history and with the work of the Ukrainian Congress
Committee of America. They include members of the international community
in Washington, members of Congress, representatives of government agencies,
and the Washington press.
May we reserve two complimentary tickets for you at the box office?
May we count on your response by the 5th of November?
Very truly yours,

PRESS RELEASE
(For Immediate Release)
CONCERT TOUR OF THE
UKRAINIAN BYZANTINE CHOIR OF UTRECHT
The Ukrainian Churches together with the Ukrainian Congress Committee of
America are sponsoring a concert tour of the Ukrainian Byzantine Choir of
Utrecht, Holland throughout the United States and Canada. The tour which
begins 25 October 1975 and ends 9 November 1975 will take the choir through
14 major American and Canadian cities. The choir will perform in Washington,
D.C. at 8 p.m. on Thursday 6 November 1975, in the American Theater,
L'Enfant Plaza, Washington, D.C.
The Choir is comprised of 40 male vocalists. It was established in 1951 by
Dr. Myroslav Antonovych, a noted composer and musicologist, who has
directed the Choir since its inception. Dr. Antonovych received his Ph. D.
degree in musicology from Utrecht University and later performed post-doctoral
research at Harvard University as a Foreign Exchange Scholar.
Though the Choir members are all Dutch, they have mastered Ukrainian music
and song to such a degree that they are justifiably known as "The Dutch Cossacks".
Their repertoir reflects the history and development of Ukrainian music as well
as its close ties with the Ukrainian Churches. Christianity in Ukraine dates
back to 988 AD when Wolodymyr the Great accepted Christianity and chose
the Byzantine Rite (from whence the Choir takes its name) for the Ukrainian
Church.
The Byzantine influence left a strong mark in Ukrainian religious rites and
contributes to the beauty of Ukrainian religious music. The second half of
the 18th Century marks a period of flowering and renewed development of
Ukrainian religious music. The Choir's repertoir includes works by Bortniansky
and Berezovsky who wrote classical pieces into which they blended much warmth
and great expressiveness. There is also Vedel, who's works are of a pseudo-
nationalistic character and reflect the melancholy and sadness of Ukrainian
folk songs. In the 19th Century we encounter the noted composer Mykola
Lysenko who drew on the depth and wide variety of Ukrainian folk songs as
the well-spring in many of his compositions.
The Byzantine Choir of Utrecht has appeared throughout Europe to critical
acclaim. Their music has been recorded and their concerts broadcast over
radio and television on numerous occasions. They have appeared in all the
major capitals and cities of Europe including Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Luxemgourg, Munich, Rome, London and Basle to name but a
few. The Choir has also given concerts in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome,
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, and Westminster Abbey in London.
Appearing with the Byzantine Choir as guest-artist will be Volodymyr Luciv,
tenor and bandurist of international stature. Mr. Luciv has toured the world
giving concerts in Australia, Canada, the United States, South America and
Europe. He studied music and voice in London and Rome and achieved his profi-
ciency on the bandura (the Ukrainian national instrument) under Gregory
Nazarenko in London. Among Mr. Luciv's achievements we can list the
First Prize at the International Competition of Vocalists in Belgium, and his
appearances at the Brussels World's Fair, Expo in Montreal, and Prince
Albert Hall in London. His appearances invariably evoke the highest critical
acclaim.

AN INVITATION TO JOIN US, "AMERICAN LEGION DAY, " LAUREL RACE COURSE
FOR L/a & Mas Tea Marrs
Through the courtesy of Mr. John D. Schapiro, President of the Laurel Race Course,
a special day honoring The American Legion will again be held at Laurel on Saturday,
November 1st, 1975.
This will be the fifth consecutive year for this outstanding event which is co-hosted
by The American Legion Department of Maryland.
The outstanding success of the reception and buffet for distinguished guests of the
National Adjutant in the past insures a sellout for the 125 spaces available this year.
The cost for this fine affair will be $17.00 per person, including admission, a
beautiful buffet luncheon and bar service for the afternoon, all in the exclusive Turf
Club at Laurel. The $1.00 per person increase in cost over last year is based on
food and services increases.
We would be delighted to have you join us for this great social event, and would
appreciate it if you will let our National Director of Public Relations, Jim Watkins,
know whether or not you plan to attend at your earliest convenience, in order that
we may confirm arrangements. Checks to cover the cost, payable to The American
Legion, should also be forwarded to Jim at the Washington Headquarters address,
along with the names of those accompanying you. (Telephone 393-4811, ext. 81 or 82)
Additional details are attached for your information.
Sincerely,
Bill

Dear Dr. Marrs,
The United States Army Warrant Officers Association (USAWOA)
will host its semi-annual Board of Directors/Council of Pre-
sidents Meeting on 5, 6 & 7 January 1976 at the Ft. Myer NCO Club.
We expect approximately 50 warrant officers representing 75 chapt-
ers throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
We would be pleased if you can find the time to address our member-
ship any time during the meeting. We will adjust our agenda to
accomodate your busy schedule. Thirty minutes of your valuable
time would be a tremendous morale boost to the Warrant Officer
Corps.
The USAWOA is dedicated to recommending programs for the improve-
ment of the Army and to disseminating professional information
to warrant officers in the field. We are sure that our members
would appreciate your comments on how we can work together to
achieve a better Army.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Marrs:
Thirty years ago this month President Truman signed
P.L. 79-293 establishing the Department of Medicine and
Surgery in the Veterans Administration. This legislation
was referred to by General Omar Bradley, then Administra-
tor of Veterans Affairs, as the "Magna Carta" of the VA
medical program.
To commemorate this important landmark in the annals
of the VA medical program, you are invited to attend a
buffet reception on January 22, 1976, from 5:00 to 7:00
P.M. in the Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Build-
ing.
I hope it will be possible for you to come.
