00:00:01.040 - 00:00:22.380

The most direct measure is that we have declared for at least two weeks a moratorium on extending these vital benefits to the community. This is necessary to stop the outflow of dollars as well as to give an opportunity to implement rigid controls on further expenditures. In

00:00:22.380 - 00:00:41.830

the meanwhile, an urgent plea is being made to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare To restore our cuts as well as to find funds to continue the program until 1974. Or until such time as the ambulatory care clinic of the model cities program opens its

00:00:41.830 - 00:01:03.200

door mm. Anybody in the community who would now seek our services, We cannot register for the next two weeks what we are doing, However, we're saying to them, we'll try to help you find some help. We've talked to SAn Francisco General Hospital. Uh we've talked to

00:01:03.200 - 00:01:16.440

you see and we've talked to a number of other resources to see if they won't pick up the slack. Uh for those who are presently registered, we're saying to them, we cannot issue anymore uh, forms to enable you to go to the doctor for the next

00:01:16.440 - 00:01:21.240
