Oct. 16, 1967
Honorable Richard M. Helms
Director

Alcoholism is a serious social problem, The National Council on Al.
coholiam estimates that $2 billion annually are lost to the nation as
a result of alcoholism and conditions related to it. Researchers tell
us that no segment of society is immune from its effect.
Our occupational health program provides a unique opportunity to act in
this area. Accordingly, the Civil Service Commission has scheduled a
Conference on Drinking Problems on November 7 and S. 1967. It will bring
together in the Civil Service Commission Auditorium experts from science,
industry, community organisations, and Government to present the latest
information and experience on alcoholism and drinking problems, and ways
to deal with them. It will also present an opportunity for each agency
to share in developing C federal program that is realistic and workable.
I ask that you designate a responsible person to represent you and your
agency at the conference. He could be a mapber of your personal staff,
your agency's Personnel Director or Occupational Health Officer or other
person who can speak for your agency. Preferably, he should be the
person who will be assigned continuing administrative responsibility in
your agency for work in this area. So that there can be meaningful Inter-
change with speakerssand effective work groups, participation will have
to be limited to.your administrative representative and, if your agency
has one, your Medical Director or other professional medical person.
There is no charge for attending the conference but for planning pur-
poses, I would appreciate your letting me know the name, title, address
and phone number of your administrative and medical representatives as
soon as possible but not later than October 25.
Sincerely yours,,
Ohn V. Macy,
