D8ar Dr. Bedirkk:

Following our rsvvbral telephone conversations, I axe rending
you two prints of paintings done by Joni Earackson as ~811 as
a picture of Joai doing a painting with her tearth.

To rscrapitulat8, it remind to BLCI a v8ry appropriate thing for
the JAMA cover, whiah ie usually devoted to a work of art, to
urn the work of art of a hasdioapped per43on in &Cknowledg8-
men0 of the AMA's recognition of the fntexnational Year of
Dimbled F8reox.m.  One oaenario which I thought might ba very
effQbOtiV8 i8.a piutorS on the cover done by a pu8phgiCr who
paint8 with her teeth, inside #!m aover th8 PrwidwWr pro-
UlMatiOIk On th8 y8aX Of DisablQd ~8JXom8, and OIL ths M8thesd
of the JAWA, a picture of the artirt at work with the paint
bruohb+wmn her tee&h.  6h. i8 not anly an able Uti8t but,
as you uan 888 fra &ha material I am isending pu~~s~_.vmxy
attractivagixlarrwrlland I think the pspcbologicml advantage
to the handiaapped people of tha ctountry and t&e reminder to
physician8 Of What ther potential of th8SC# p8Ople o&a b8 would
be4 of inertimdtbls valueL

I will b0 glad to di8a\lB8 thi8 With any Of th8 people at the
