February 23, 1965 My dear Mary: I am in receipt of your letter of the 19th, 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 Sincerely, Lister Hill
