From former First Lady Betty Ford to Vernon Johnson, January, 1986:
Dear Vern,
Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of the Johnson Institute. Over that 20 year period, you have certainly been a pioneer in the changes that have occurred in the treatment and awareness of alcohol and drug dependency.
As one of the people who has benefited from your intervention process, I offer you a hearty thanks from all the members of the Ford family.
The past seven and a half years of my life have led me on an incredible path. You provided the possibility for the first step. I treasure each time that my path crosses with yours.
With warm best wishes,
BETTY FORD

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In the early 1960s, intervention was a theory which seemed to fly in the face of long-established opinion and practice which held that nothing could be done with alcoholics until they "hit bottom" or that only those chemically dependent people who were "properly motivated" would respond positively to professionally delivered remedial care.
Scarcely more than two decades later, the process of intervention described in the following pages has gained such widespread acceptance as to be practiced at virtually every economic and social level in the United States. To attempt to acknowledge those responsible for bringing about so rapid and thoroughgoing a change in a basic approach to this deadly epidemic in our midst is obviously an impossible task. They are too many by now even to list. One also hesitates to be specific in an effort to illustrate how varied and influential so many of these groups offering intervention processes to their stricken members are since to name some is to leave unnamed many others equally committed and caring. However, among those who have come to us for training at the Institute for nearly 30 years have been representatives of both corporate management and organized labor as Employee Assistance Programs sprang into being. They have come to us from the several branches of our country's armed services with notable programs of intervention and treatment developing particularly in the U.S. Navy and the U.S.

Air Force. State medical associations have developed programs of intervention with impaired physicians. Lawyers began helping lawyers. Church denominations became increasingly involved, as in the Episcopal church, where every diocese is now charged with having an active commission on chemical dependency and intervention training. The list goes on and on, and I am deeply grateful to them all. However, a very special thanks must go to the Airline Pilots Association and their medical office under the caring leadership of Dr. Richard Masters; the Cargill Company, where one of the very first Employee Assistance Programs was organized; and the Rutgers Summer School of Alcohol Studies, where so many students were exposed to this training for the first time.
I express my gratitude to the board of the Johnson Institute itself. Obviously without their first and primary commitment to the educational task of our staff, none of this would have happened. Finally and particularly, I am grateful to Pamela Espeland, whose editorial skills are discernible throughout the pages that follow.
