First of the regional meetings, expected to total a dozen during the first three months of 68, was held in December, Charleston, West Virginia.

We will carry two main messages to Democratic leaders at these conferences: 1. There has never been a more effective administration on the domestic front that the Presidents. 2. It looks like even most Re- publicans will be standing with the President on Vietnam, or no more than a step to the left or right, after all the present loud conversation sifts down and the people get to considering possible alternatives. This Democratic Administration has an outstanding record that we can and will carry to voters of America effectively. ical and allied health profession brings the latest information on cardiovascular research and a clinical practice.
