on with a very cogent letter to the whole committee, Flood's whole committee, urging increased funds. The truth is that they did increase the funds substantially, and they gave to Cancer 492 million dollars, 40 million dollars additional which was to be only paid out July 1 fiscal '73, gives the full amount of money that's authorized, 539 (532) million dollars, and the Sanate gave the same. So we're at the limit of the authorization for cancer. They added about 45 million for heart on the House side, and this letter -- something had some great results.

The Coalition for Health which John Cooper and Mike Gorman and two or three other people have been the main workers on, on which John Cooper, Mike Gorman and several other people have been the main workers, has been immensely effective. I paid for the efforts of Jim Wagner, who wrots numerous speeches that were given by everybody from Congressman Flood, From Congressman Rogers to Wilbur Mills, uring more money for research appropriations.

Wilbur Mills also?

Wilbur Mills. We got Wilbur Mills to appeal for more money for medical research. People couldn't believe their eyes, on the appropriations.

Now, tell me how this was done.

I won't talk. It's too unlikely. It's so fantastic that you wouldn't believe it. And what's more, if anybody typed the thing out, you could sell it. What's the trouble, all the things that are really worthwhile and funny, they're really dangerous to say.
