GRANT FOR STUDY OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE (14) T h e Departments of Medicine and Preventive Medicine have submitted an application to the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for a grant to study coronary heart disease.

The original grant of $189,500 will be for one year, and annual renewals are anticipated. Particular emphasis will be given to the following factors which may have an effect on heart disease: body build, body fatness, diet, hypertension, blood lipids, physical activity, heredity (including geographic and national background), and emotional and psychological factors.

I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.
