     U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Louis W. Sullivan,
M.D., will be joined Friday by Governor John Engler and other top
federal and local officials to launch Detroit's immunization plan
for children two years and younger.
        President Bush charged Secretary Sullivan last June in a
White House ceremony to address the national problem of children
under age 2 receiving immunizations.  Detroit is one of six
cities chosen by Secretary Sullivan to address this problem.
        Secretary Sullivan and Governor Engler will tour the
Herman Keifer Health Complex where the Secretary will participate
in administering immunizations.  Governor Engler and a
representative from the Detroit Department of Health will present
the Secretary with the first official copy of the plan at a press
availability following the tour.
