Dade Matthews Matthews and Associates Architects and Engineers 100 W Brooksides Bryan, Texas SUBJECT: St. Joseph Hospital Building Project Dear Mr. Matthews: In regard to the construction of the new St. Joseph Hospital; this office is very much interested in the possibility of incorporating radiation sheilding and auxilary power. \ I have explored the possibility of obtaining funds through Civil Defense Channels for this purpose and found that the Bill submitted to Congress was defeated. However, with the permission of your firm we are able to obtain at no cost to you or the owners a trained specialist to serve as a consultant for the purpose of exploring the . possibility of incorporating radiation sheilding which would fit in your budget and design ideas. As you know hospitals are one of our most vital survival facilities and I feel that every effort should be made to assure the continued operation of this type facility under adverse conditions. What we do today could be a deciding factor in our future vulnerability. This 6ffice will be at your disposal at all times to provide whatever assistance avail- able to us from the local, state or federal government in connection with this project. Your consideration in this matter will be sincerely appreciated and please feel free to contact this office for any information or assistance you feel we may be able to provide. espectf6171 ■ J 1e Ca lose, Di actor 0 fice of Civil ' fense d Emergency Planning JC /an cc: Chairman, Brazos County Civil Defense Council Hon.
