Correspondence Regarding the Senate Community Mental Health Centers Amendments of 1969, 1970-01-22

Dr. Edwin Fair, a psychiatrist director, wrote a letter to Congressman Page Belcher urging support for S. 2523, the Senate Community Mental Health Centers Amendments of 1969. The letter outlines the reasons why the Senate bill is preferable to the House version and highlights three specific provisions in the Senate bill that the Bi-State Mental Health Foundation supports. Congressman Belcher responded, indicating that he will carefully consider the points made in Dr. Fair's letter when the conference report comes before the House for consideration.
