November 11, 1971 Mr. Michael W. Palmer Staff Attorney - Environmental Defense Fund 2728 Durant Avenue Berkeley, California 94704 Dear Mr. Palmer: I have just returned from an extended trip abroad and have now had a chance to review your letter of October 27 regarding PCB addressed to Mr. Papageorge, copies of which you sent to our Board of Directors. We appreciate the interest you are taking in this matter, and your letter brought out some cogent points. I understand you have been advised that we are assembling detailed statistical informa tion for Dr. Edward J. Burger, and through Dr. Burger this information will be available on a need-to-know basis. I, of course, am not qualified to handle this matter personally with the scientific community, but you may be assured that I and others in top management of Monsanto intend to follow this to be certain that those who are qualified are giving this matter the urgent attention it deserves. Sincerely, CHS BCC: F.M.Eaton Jean Mayer E.J. Putzell . . C.P. Cunningham ,v DSW8110 STLCOPCB4081970
