Dear Congressman Frank,

The U.S. Conference of Mayors enthusiastically supports the resolution you have introduced designating September 1985 as “Pediculosis Prevention Month."  As the enclosed policy statement demonstrates, we have serious concerns about the potential health and social implications of pediculosis.

Please feel free to call me or the Conference staff if we can provide further assistance to you.

Sincerely yours,

Theodore D. Mann
Chairman, Health Subcommittee
Mayor of Newton
