The Klnutee of the January 25, 1966 meeting were distributed at the meeting and approved fol lowing a brief discussion. Agenda Ite Wo. 2 - A suggestion by the etaff that the Lead Information Program for 1967 should include the publication of a research digest listing current health and safety project* relating to lead products and their uee was unanimously endorsed by the members of the Committee, It was agreed by all that the over-all Lead Information Program should encom pass a positive approach. The need for such an approach by our industry was well illustrated by the public relations problem* encountered by the automobile and Insurance industries as described In an article thlch appeared In the September 9, 1966 issue of the foil Street Journal. copies of tdilch were distributed at the meeting. It was noted In this article that both the automo bile and Insurance industries had suffered sever* blows to their public images by waiting for govammar.tal prodding in solving problems affecting the public. Accordingly, it was the consensus of opinion that greater emphasis should be placed on the public relations aspects of the total health and safety program in 1967. Agenda Item Ho. 1 - The staff reported the the USFH-Leed Liaison Ccaedtteo has been formed and will have its first meeting in October, 1966. This Comlttee will be comprised ofi 3 representative* from the leed industry) 2 representatives from the American Petroleua Institute; A representatives from the U.S. Public Health Service; and en* representative from the Automobile Manufacturers Association, It was noted that the activity of the Coandlte* will include, among other things, reviewing all lead research currently being conducted in the V.3. Arenda Item Ho. L - The staff reportsd that ths Pennsylvania Air Pollution Comlselon, at It* meeting on August 31, 1966, had accepted a report of the Technical Task Group which set a rvew Pennsylvania Lead Air Quality Standard of five mlcrograna per ruble meter of air averaged over thirty days. It ia expected that this report will Is voted on at the next meeting of the Commission to be held on Septeober 26, 1966. 5* & I l- I f qww wi^'1j'..ugwij i i MMEg LIA11860 fc /wI_J.u ifrWrI aS&a> UA-nZitO Health And Safety Coerslttee Meeting Minute* -> The staff ho* followed this situation closely, end has discussed this utter with the Chad.mvi of tha Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Coesziialon. the Director of the Division of Air Pollution Control of the Pecu-, eyIrania Department of Health, and rep resentatIre a of ooqpanlae In the Lead Industry haring cor^>srl*a In Pennsylvania.

Public Health Jerries, together with a recoes&aodatlen that actual teat data covering tha lead content of air outside of our plants ba obtained In advance of the Septaebar 26 nesting. Mr. Kelson reported on date collected over tha past 20 years lowing leadln-alr concentrations at tha property Una of one of ASIROO'a secondary plants (lead smelting, brass and solder production),and also at their laboratory location. These figures showed a generally deecresalng trend In the staospherlO concentrations of lead during this 20-year period, following discussion, it was suggested that the staff conduct a surrey of tha Barter ooopanles of L1A to determine If ary of than have developed lnforaatlon stal l a r to that reported by Mr. Kelson. It was also suggested that the staff approach tha Industrial Hygiene foundation to dstamina that kind of assistance that organisation could prorlds. 4g*-r>4.j_Iter^ P>, j - The staff called attention to a recent LEAD HTCIBCt AMD DAh'i.77 tiuILS7IH vhlch had requested our nsober eo^anlee to cooperate In proposed blood lead analysis progrsa being sponsored by the Analytical Cheoistry Section of the American Industrial Hygisne Association.

He suggeeted that the lead Industrie* Association consider the feasibility of offering the wallsr lead user* a prallninary kind of labor*tor7 service* on confidential basis and at very lov oost* as seana of reducing the maber of reported leal poisoning cases. It was noted that the costs for such laboratory tests at nany of the privats laboratories ars excessive, and aany of th* aaaller oospa-nles are hesitant to request such tests froci Stats laboratories. Accordingly* It was suggested that* because of th* atonic absorption technique* developed in recent years asking it poeeibl# to run a great nusber of tests at very low oost* several of th* larger Berber cocpenies trfilch have atonio abeorptlon unit* sight wleh to assist In this prograa. b.
