NEWS FROM THE DEAN'S OFFICE Dr. Hine's busy schedule continues at a rapid pace, although he keeps insisting that it will be better after Labor Day. His recent trips have included two trips to the White House; first to listen to President Johnson describe future plans for "Medicare0 and the second, to discuss with President Johnson's
advisors the possible inclusion of a dental care program for children by the administration next year.

Dr. Hine also is scheduled to read a paper entitled "Cur:rent Concepts of Periodontal Therapy" before the American Dental Society of Europe at Gothenburg, Sweden, July
4,
and to lead the delegation of the American Dental Association at the annual meeting of the Federation Dentaire Internationale in Tel Aviv, July 9 to18.

Nixon reported that he wanted his physician to be working for him and not the government!
His speech was interrupted six or eight times by enthusiastic
applause.
