would be part Of the United States

its most logical location would be
Immediately south Of the National
Health Institute on the large tract

estate and the Woodmont Country
Club.
Consisting Of II buildings. this
would include institutes
and research laboratories for heart
and kidney, mental, chest diseases,
infectious diseases, basic medical

include a veterans hospital and

search laboratories and national
