Greer Henson Holtzman Pepples Stevens Witt Re: Brotman/Freedman Proje,ct 'Following the discussion of this matter at the Committee of Counsel meeting in June, we met with Drs. Brotman and Freedman to discuss further the proposal described in our memorandum of February 2, copy of which is attached. The thrust of the proposal remains unchanged: to deal ~ith a number of critical issues in psychiatric classification which have arisen as a result of DSM III and which must be addressed in connection with DSM IV. However, important restructuring of the proposal has been accomplished and a revised budget is attached. The revised budget proposal covers a 14 month period (July 1982 through August 1583), and the work has been broken down into specific tasks to which time periods have been ~ssigned and costs have been allocated. The restructuring will allow us to better monitor the project. The monograph mentioned in the February proposal has been dropped from the revised proposal, with the thought that it will be considered when the results of the international conference are in hand. 01335524

Page 3uly 15, 1982 The total amount of the revised proposal is $257,000. Since $87,500 remains undisbursed from the original Brotman/Freedman project which commenced in 1979, the revised proposal requires additional funding of $149,500. Contributions would be made by the companies on a per capita basis and would be distributed through Special Account No. 5. We recommend the approval of the project and are prepared to discuss it further with you. Since the proposal contains a 3uly 1£82 starting date and Drs. Brotman and Freedman believe it is imperative to adhere to that schedule if their work is to be effective, we plan to be in touch with you shortly with regard to your decision on the proposal.
