DOC#: ML106 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Letter to Mr. Cummings from Dr. Lanza RE Damage Suits and Their Impact on The Asbestosis Study
Date.* 1/26/33 Title: Letter Author: Lanza Receiver: Cummings Comments: "As you point out, there is a lot to be said on the mine operators' side of the question. When the original agreement was made between the Bureau of Mines, the Metropolitan, and the operator, conditions were, as you know, far different from what they are now. None of us could have foreseen this plague of damage suits all over the country which have scared employers out of their wits and for good reason. Your position in this regard is identical with mine with reference to the asbestosis study. Here we have a large size of material, representing a lot of time, energy, and money, which were put into a nation wide study of asbestosis and which we cannot print. I think we imply have to recognize that in these troubled times, we have to accept a certain amount of disappointment and setback."
