    a summary of the information developed. Additional details

    GRANT TO CITIZENS CONFERENCE
    ON STATE LEGISLATURES

         NIAAA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)   L
  /jointly funded a grant awarded to the Citizens Conference.
    The grant's purpose is to stimulate State legislatures in
    developing public policy on alcoholism and drug abuse and to
    demonstrate that the quality of legislation could be improved
    if standing committees operated on a year-round basis with
    full-time staff support.

         The grant application was received by the Department of
    Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) on March 29, 1974. On
    April 17, 1974, the applicant was notified that the applica-
    tion would be considered by the National Advisory Council on
    Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism at its November 1974 meeting.
