Dear Dr. Levine:

psychopharmacology at the annual cost of maintenance.

Specifically, we request the transfer of $71,000 from
the category ”Other” to ”Equipment,” thus reducing "Other”
to $10,000 and increasing "Equipment" to $77,500.
This total purchase price of our system, based
credits for rental is $136,945.

additional funds are available from NH 18172,
allocated fer equipment to process
the studies of the neurophysiology of cannabis. Purchase of
the 1800 will permit the analyses of the cannabis data
for a $3000 annual maintenance charge.

discussed with you, we have carefully assessed
other instruments, notably the PUP-12 and PUP-15 which are
being recommended in similar studies; and while the initial
outlay is slightly less than the IBM 1800, the expense of
re-programming and the interruption in ongoing programs
make the approach to continued work less attractive.
As I

present rental cost is $4330/month. We are
predicating this request on an expeditious approval of
the transfer of funds, effective June 1, 1970 or July 1,
