My dear Mary:

I am in receipt of your letter of the lqth,

with enclosure of the memorandum on Fifty Centers
for Advanced Studies.  I want to thank you for same.

     Mike Gorman and I spent some two hours
together on yesterday working on the legislation to
carry out the Commission's recommendations on
Heart, Cancer and Strokes. We are endeavoring to
expedite this legislation, and we will certainly give
our attention to legislation for the Fifty Centers for
Advanced Studies.

    I want to take this opportunity to tell you how
much I enjoyed seeing you last week, and I want to again
thank you and express to you my deep appreciation for
the fine Joseph Lister letter which you so kindly and
generously brought me.  I shall always treasure it and
the thoughts of your sweet friendship.

With warmest personal regards,  I am
