House of Representatives


      Dear Mr. Chairman:

           This is in response to your letter of January 24, 1977,
      requesting current information concerning several issues
      related to the swine flu program. The issues were raised
(1   / by Congressmen Harry. A. Waxman and Andrew Maguire in a letter
      to you dated January 5,-1977. Your office also forwarded
      to us for comment a second letter to you from the Congress-
      men dated February 4, 1977, which contained some additional
      issues. We have discussed all of these issues with your
      staff and those of Congressmen John E. Moss, Waxman, and
      Maguire during severa briefings since Dec-enber 1976. The
      most recent briefing to your staff occurred on February 11,
      1977. We plan to address most of the issues in detail in
      our report to the Congress on our review.           7 <

           -The Center for Disease Control has responded to you con-
      cerning most of the issues contained it Congressmen Waxman's
      and Maguire's second letter. (See enclosure.) Where appro-
      priate, we refer to the Center's response and give supple-
      mental information. Our current knowledge on each issue is
      summarized below by issue statement. When similar issues
      were included in both letters, we combined the issue state-
      ments and our response.

      ISSUES

                That the cost of the program may signif-
           icantly exceed the $135 million appropriated
           primarily because of the salary costs of the
           Federal and State personnel who participated
           in the program.
