Dear Mr. Chambliss,

Enclosed is a copy of my curriculum vitae which you requested
during our recent conversation.

I am unable to supply any additional names of rheumatologists
of minority extraction who are board-certified. From my attendance
at national arthritis meetings, it is my impression that the number
of rheumatologists of such extraction is exceedingly small. Further,
the few that there are,seem to devote their energies almost wholly
to the delivery of their specialized care rather than to research.

The same applies to myself as my curriculum vitae attests.

Nevertheless, I hope that this information will prove helpful
to you and you can stand assured that I am willing to offer any
assistance which you feel I am qualified to give.

Sincerely yours,

Kenneth I. Austin, M.D.
Chief, Division of Arthritis
