Description

Jones seeks research funding for the National Institute of Mental Health

TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, May 25, 1989. Letter to Congressman William H. Natcher, in part: “The President’s budget request for research supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is woefully inadequate at a time when scientific advances are coming at a rapid rate, dispelling myths about the causes and treatability of mental disorders and providing realistic hope for the millions who suffer from these diseases…I urge you to support the $502 million non–AIDS research budget level advocated by all major mental health constituent groups. If we are to meet the challenges and opportunities that exist for identifying the causes and treatments of major mental illnesses, sufficient support for these activities must be provided at this time. I ask you, therefore, to do whatever you can to assure that the critical opportunities can be met and that adequate funding for mental health research is secure.” Jones adds a line to the closing in her own hand, “and with warmest regards I hope to see you in Washington soon, Jennifer Jones.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
