We have discussed your proposal with our Toxicological and Epidemiology experts. Although we have seen previous presentations regarding this study, we feel that it may be useful to have a presentation/discussion regarding the current scope and details of the study. Perhaps it would be useful to also include some of the principle investigators. As we have discussed, we have specific technical concerns with the proposed study as we understand it. I do not think a simple overview of the study would be sufficient to address the concerns we have identified. We are prepared to host a meeting in Midland for this purpose. This would allow us to also include our colleagues in Europe via teleconference. Let me know how you wish to proceed.

You mentioned there was concern about the exposure assessment and Tom Armstrong could present that portion to reassure your IH folks. If there are additional concerns, a larger presentation could be arranged. Please let me know your preference.
