Educational Fund, Inc. 

99 Hudson Street, Suite 1600 

New York, New York 10013 

Dear Mr. Chambers: 

I am responding to your letter to Secretary Sullivan concerning the 

NAACP Legal Defense Fund’s civil action against the California Department of 
Health Services for its alleged failure, under the Medicaid Early and Periodic 

Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) program, to administer blood 

lead tests to screen for lead poisoning in young children. 

I am aware that the Federal court in which your action is pending has 
asked this Department to file an amicus curiae brief concerning Federal policy 
under the Medicaid EPSDT program. This Department does intend to file 
such a brief, subject to Department of Justice approval. 

I hope this is responsive to your inquiry and I appreciate your interest in 
this subject. 

Sincerely, 

AOU 
Gail R. Wilensky, Ph. 

Administrator
