present time the Public Health Service had neither the funds nor the staff for such a study, but that he was hopeful that such an undertaking could be arranged during the next fiscal year (i.e., fiscal year 1965).

In keeping with the nature of the source book series, the source book would be expected to provide information on the numbers of optometrists; their location; personal characteristics such as age, sex, and years of work experience; type of employment; earnings; educational status of present personnel; enrollment and capacity of schools; and current and future supply of optometrists in relation to other health workers.

You will be interested in knowing that information on optometrists has been included in several of the sections of the source books. Information on optometrists available from the 1950 Census of Population was included in sections 4 and 5 of the source books; from the 1960 Census of Population, in section 17 (enclosed). The 1960 data are presented in two tables (on pp. 42 and 43 of sec. 17) which cover such items as numbers in the experienced civilian labor force and employed, sex, urban and rural residence, and ratio to population by State. Dr. Peterson advises me that he is forwarding the other materials the subcommittee requested for the record under separate cover. Should there be a further question please let me know.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. LUTHER L. TERRY, Surgeon General.
