June 12, 1964 Re: vs. Standard Oil Company, Glasgow, Kentucky Mr. Dana Brown Standard Oil Company P.0. Box 1446 Louisville 1, Kentucky Dear Mr. Brown: I shall be glad to talk with Mr. Barrickman about the case referred to in your letter of June 10. Unfortunately, however, on the date ft which Mr. Barrickman will be in or near Cincinnati,I shall be in Houston, Texas. A meeting of the Air Pollution Control Association meets there, and since I am involved in several of its activities, I shall be out of Cincinnati from the 21st through the 25th. ^ So far as I know, I shall be available during the luxlowing week in June (<5rj` for that matter on the 26th and 27th), and I expect to be in my office, with occasional days out of town, through the entire month of July. May I point out, in connection with a case of this type, that while lead intoxication cannot occur in consequence of the ingestion of gasoline containing tetraethyllead, the reason for this is that intoxication with gasoline supervenes. In other words one cannot swallow enough gasoline over a long enough period of time to yield lead poisoning, because the gasoline is too toxic to permit this to occur. If, therefore, one defends a case with evidence of this type, he puts the burden on gasoline. This^from the aspect of your Company, may be an equal liability. Sincerely yours, RAK:vr Robert A. Kehoe, M.D
