Find a citable source that explicitly identifies SACC co-founder 'Jonathan Kabat, PhD '71' as Jon Kabat-Zinn, and confirm the SACC / March 4, 1969 facts against a primary

The whole hook of claim-mbsr-founder-kabat-zinn-cofounded-sacc-march-4-1969 is the identity link between the MIT Technology Review's SACC co-founder "Jonathan Kabat, PhD '71" and Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of MBSR. That bridge is currently an inference — no single cited source states it. The Tech Review article (Tier 2) names "Jonathan Kabat"; a separate Wikipedia biography (Tier 4) records Jon Kabat-Zinn's 1971 MIT molecular-biology PhD. The note is seedling / flagged until the bridge is made explicit.

What would answer it:

Resolving this either firms up the bridge to verified-verbatim or, if no source makes the identity explicit, tells us the connection should be stated more cautiously. Also worth checking here: the capture's unpromoted further-lead that Kabat-Zinn sat on a 1969 MIT advisory panel alongside Noam Chomsky (a Wikipedia footnote the capture itself flagged as unverified).
