Lazarus This is to le t you know, without fu rth e r delay* th at th e re p o rt on the analytical work, and a full discussion of the problem which has a rise n , has been p repared and is being reproduced fo r such distribution as m ay be desirable* ! I am sending herew ith the rep o rts of the analyses them selves, so that you will have them at hand for such use as they m ay be. I had to p rep a re the discussion m yself in odds and ends of tim e th at could be snatched from o th er d u ties. I did not com plete it before a se rie s of professional m eetings which took me unavoidably to Cleveland from the evening of N ovem ber 6 to the m orning of N ovem ber 13. Between m eetings, how ever, I finished the job and re tu rn e d it fo r lithotyping. We have had a rush of deadlines; for rep o rts and this one has next place on the lis t. It will be ready fo r you in a few days. You m ay w onder why I have taken so m uch trouble w ith the re p o rt, and th e re fo re I should explain th a t th e d isc u ssio n w hich is being su b m itted to you and your a sso c ia te s is intended to cover this su b ject fo r a ll who m ay be concerned* Including the m em bers of the ad hoc Com m ittee appointed b y S u rg eo n G e n e ra l B u rn ey , of w hich Xa m c h a irm a n . I sh a ll not se n d i t to anyone else until you and your group have seen and studied it. If you ag ree, how ever, I shall m ake it available to o th ers who m ay be concerned, and can advise m e if th ere a re o th er people in the industry who should have c o p ie s . Xt is f o r th is r e a s o n th a t th e r e p o r t p r o p e r c o n ta in s no in fo rm a tio n th at would identify the sam p les, but ra th e r deals with the data in a general illustrative m anner. I re g re t the delay that has been occasioned by these considerations, but X a sk you to rem em b er that this problem dropped in on u s, as it did on yourselves, while we w ere in the m idst of other duties and resp o n sib ilities. C ordially yours, RAK ef Robert A. Kehoe, M. D.
