Johnson said the department's
$39 million budget recommenda-
tions went to the Legislature with-
out Commission approval last year
. . . and the same thing happened
again this year.
Chairman also said that plans
for the proposed S3 million water
exchange pass at Mustang Island
near Corpus Christi were changed
without consulting the Commission.
“As long as the staff usurps the
powers of the Commission,” said
Johnson at an open meeting in the
capitol, “I won’t be responsible
(as chairman).”

Health Department official at a re-
cent hearing of the House Commit-
tee to Study Psychiatric Problems
of Youth.
It will be carried out in three
steps, offering laboratory services,
clinics and an over-view of health
factors in the drug area.
Initial action calls for setting up
facilities next year in Nueces, Bex-
ar, El Paso, Bowie, Webb and Lub-
bock .Counties (serving 1.7 million
people). Beginning in 1972, the
program will be established state-
wide. Cost may be three to five
million dollars for the second-year
period, $1.2 million for the initial
pilot program.
Laboratory services will provide
surveillance of drug-abuse patients
and detect those needing treat-
ment. Department proposes urine
tests of patients to determine if il-
licit drugs still are being used.
Second stage calls for statewide
clinics, especially for the median
age 19 group, and informational
workshops mostly conducted in
schools.
Continual study ■will use comput-
ers to correlate facts from the
viewpoint of health personnel who
deal with the problem daily.
Department believes the pro-
gram will fill these three basic
needs not presently available, and
without which little chance exists
for success in drug abuse control.
