Your letter about the M5050 situation was most welcome, but the situation is murky, confused, disorganized, and typically American—during the War, we described the situation as SNAFU. To recapituiite: our laboratory became interested in the antagonists in 1967. We heard of diprenorphine and contacted you, as well as Lederle. They were uninterested~~ you and we were. We proposed a study of the animal toxicology, peior to obtaining an IND to assess its activity in man. We requested funds of the New York State Commission, but were denied. We tried NIbiB, the Cityoof New York, and private donors-~ and each felt that such trials were the expense of industry. tried Nlhi, and they were receptive, and. Meanwhile, the White House appointed a brash, young man to h.ead its program; and he asked for assistance from other brash young men, without experience. Nevertheless, when they called me some weeks ago, I shared the full file with them, for is irrelevant to me who provides the support for the animal work. They called to ask how much material I had, how much would be nodded, etc. I answered, openly, and offered the material in hand to start, and indicated that I would write you for additional material as needed. Last summer, we hence the application which you read. it last week, Dr. Green told me that he had assumed full the program; that he had called you; that there were for responsibility the usual bureaucratic complications of the precedence of a U.S. grant to do the work of industry, and who would get the rights if the material was successful, etc. I suggested he review the massive contracts between the military and industry, and that he disregard the trivial amounts necessary heae. But, he indicated, that I did not understand his many problems, etc. Then, MIME has indicated that they will fund the grant of first April; and the City of New York has indicated that they fund animal trials, if I guarantee that we would have enough the will do the clinical work thereafter (which I did); and Drs. Green, material to about the Meanwhile, Jaffe, et al. are runnung about. . . . , �.. v w '7- ' ~, - » -« 'vnwrr Jr u'vhb-J'vvn'rr. ,.

I am off to Greece for the week, and hopefully, the various competing agencies will resolve their problems. some Our position is what it was two years ago-- we are prepared interested in establishing the clinical efficacy, dosage range, toxicity, utility, and anything else that may be interesting of the antagonists in opiate dependent subjects. We are now embarked on essays of naloxone and pamoate; have been promised l-cyclazocine next month; and BC 2605 in Should some agency probide the basis for an IND, we will do what we can-- and hopefully, R 8 C will make some material available for our studies at that time. Or, should I husband my present supply, and let MIME, Green and Jaffe, and New York City obtain their supplies from you ? April. Incidentally, in the usual disorganization of our governement, will probably get out funds, eben if the toxicity is done at the military centers in the v.3. we I look forward to meeting John Lewis again. There may be error, however, for I believe the Drug Dependence meetings are to be held in the late Spring in Ann erbor and not in February-— unless some he is coming to a committee meeting and scientists in the field. that is not open to the Keep weal, and do what you must to secure your compound's study. While I would like to be its monitor, I do not see how I can ask us are brash, and unSOphisticated, and tend it, for the forces aboutwherever and whenever they can. to assert their powers Sincerely yours, Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Max mm .4.‘ w..- . 4., amyyrcwm-w.au-awm- 'n' v-um . .7...“ ”WA 5.- r, », "'rr‘ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
