The $1,018,000 rounds out the total needed to match a U.S. Public Health Service grant of $3,054,432 to build the Facility, dedicated to helping the mentally retarded through treatment and research and educating personnel to work in the field.

The 8-story tower will be called The Mailman Child Development Center and the annex, which will contain a school for the handicapped, The Debbie Institute. As a memorial to the late President, clinic and out-patient areas on the tower’s first and second floors will be named The John F. Kennedy Clinics.
Construction of the tower and two-story annex is now scheduled to start late January, 1968 at NW 12th Avenue and 16th Terrace.
