Dear Dr. Kupfer:

f9

have been asked by members of the Mbunt Sinai School of
Medicine to make available samples of blood from patients receiving
heroin in the course of their treatment or opiate dependence.
We

would like to cooperate with reputahle scientists who may
contribute to our understanding of the opiate dependence problem.
If
I would like to assure you thht the study has been endorsed
by the Research Committee of the ¥“New York Medical College, that

We

it is undertaken in the facilities of the Department of Psychiatry
either at the metropolitan hospital Medical Center or in our

laboratories at 5 East lOanJMStreet and that all precautions
whichm deem necessary for the protection of our patients have
and will in the future, cohtinue to be taken. The amount of
heroin varies depending upon the need of the subject and design
of the experiment. The amount varies from 5 to 75 mg i.v., usually
given in 2cc of Saline within 1 minute.
At the tine that Dre. Pusskin, Aledort and Gutfreund visited
me, I approached the problem sympathetically, and accepted their
credentials and sincerity, and assumed that their request was a
simple one. In View of the conplexity of the questions, perhaps

we should ask/the

assurances of the appropriate authorities at

your school that: the protocol has been approved by the
appropriate committee of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine; and
that any proposals sent to any third party in which we are named
or referred to, receive the prior approval of our Department of
Psychiatry Chairman, the Research Committee and Dean of our school.

Sincerely yours,
Pink, M.D.
Professor of Psychiatry
