BUREAU OF HEALTH RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

HRP Executive Staff DATE: August 22, 1974

Deputy Director
Division of Comprehensive Health Planning

Proposed Agenda
Regional Orientation Sessions on Health Resources Planning

As a follow-up to the request of the Executive Staff, I have prepared
a very. preliminary draft agenda for the three sessions. The format
presents the topic for discussion, goal to be achieved in addressing
the topic, and time for considering the topic.

In light of the very fluid nature of the legislation, it is imperative
that substantial discussion be given to the agenda“and the way that we
can be prepared to face the legislative situation which may exist at
the time of the sessions, i.e., no bills out of full committees, bill

' Out of one side and not the other, etc.

~

_ We should probably also spend time talking about background materials

to provide the participants with. Preliminary thoughts center on items
Such as 16204, the summary of 16204, or a revised summary based on work
done by the full House Committee. Please be prepared to make sugges-
tions on this topic.

I should also point out that while time for discussion and questions and
answers is a given, it has not been formally programmed in the draft
agenda.

I look forward to receiving your initial suggestions on this material.
