Congressman Poul Rotors.

0.8. Congress,

Huntington. D.C.
Dear Mr. Rogers,
Binos our discussion more than a your ago, the goal of
mothsdone dolivory for our nation hss progroaoed with
grout rapidity. The Journals spook of 50.000 pstionts now in
trontmont in the notion. with treatmont (with mothsdons) without
delay available to every sddiat, so that orinos kill no longer

gensrsl

bu necessary.

Enclosed

physicians in the city.
When VB

from a mailing

oxynpsnod some optimism

nsrootic antagonists may provide

assistance, and you

assured no that tho (than) forthcoming bill would provide funds
for tho effort. And indeed, the bill supportod research
specifically in tho narcotic antagonists.
Enoloood

is

our

latest retort. It suggests to no that
is more fossiblo than generally

success with cyclazocino

acknowledged.

I on writing to oxpress some dissppointmont with the
notionsl effort. The push to nothsdone has led (us was predicted)
to freely svsilsblo mothsdone, primary nothsdono addiction,
nothndone deaths, and a nothsdons illicit market. A small
impediment to this spread. tho suggested use of levomethndyl, in
faltering hocnnso tho F.D.A., K.I.M.H. and B.A.0.D.A.P., fearful

of changing the rulos sgsin (hsving done so for methadone) are
using sdminiatrstivo caution ("red tape") to delay studies in
man until animal studies can ho completed.
But most disooncorting is s continued bad press for
oynlnnocino; an Optimism about nsltroxone (EN1639) - s drug
as yet unawaildblo for cliniosl trial; and the ineasssnt push

to nothsdono.
