‘Dear Harold,
L have talked to Jack Ingall on the phone about the enclosed program
‘am sure J have upset him. I have asked him to write me a letter in
efense of putting out such stuff on RMP time with RHP money. My bias is clearly
ishowi but if RMP is an appropr jate medium for propagation of the left-wing

ing
Physicians! Forum propaganda, then I believe equal
“ithe. Health Ineurance Association of Amevica to pron
American Hospital Association for Ameriplan, and

 

to the Af
who looks on the Kennedy-Griffith-

time should be allocated to
note the Burleson Bill, to the

& for Medicrédit. I

oh

am a vocal promoter of the AMA plan and one

Labor Plan as a blue-print-of disaster, but it would not occur to me to use RMP
as iy medium of exp pression. I have told Jack that I propose to suggest to the
National Council ‘that RUP stay as far as possible awey from emotionally charged
controversial political issues and stick with efforts to improve medical care
at the scientific level. ZI hereby formally transmit that suggestion for the

development of an appropriate guideline. Joe Engl
friends of mine and { respect their opinions, but
ds absolutely out-of-bounds for RMP. This is the
which has caused trouble in Rhode Island and elsew
the providers the idea that RMP really is some thin
and don't want tg see it become.

{

Sincerely,

fics:
