Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. letter to H. A. O., January 28, 1992

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. TENTH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT BALTIMORE COUNTY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MARYLAND JUVENILE JUSTICE ADVISORY COUNCIL House of Delegates Annapolis . Maryland 21401-1991 January 28, 1992 Legislative Address: 309 LOWE BUILDING ANNAPOLIS. MARYLAND 21401-1991 LEGISLATIVE PHONE: 14101 84I-33S0 Home Address: 5 ELPHIN COURT. *102 TIMONIUM. MARYLAND 21093-1831 Thank you for your letter concerning the importance of protecting mandated mental health benefits. As you may know, I do not sit on the House committee that oversees this legislation. In such circumstances, it is my practice to listen to the Floor debate prior to making up my mind on an issue. This will most certainly be the practice I follow with respect to this vote in light of the strong arguments given by the respective "sides." I understand the rationale cited in your letter; I have received other correspondence wherein similar points have been made. Accordingly, I will most certainly keep your views in mind while deciding this issue - it is a difficult call in light of the increasing expense caused by mandating benefits in this market. I appreciate your interest in this important issue. Please feel free to call or write concerning any issue of importance to you and your family. Very truly yours, Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. RLE, Jr./jc
