SUBJECT: Vinyl Chloride Communications
CC: H.I. Cobert
Attached is the revised communication materials pertaining to the vinyl chloride study of CMA. As I previously mentioned, Harvey Cobert will be taking over the Media Relations role on this project frdm here on out. He can be reached on ext. 7027.
Both Harvey and I agree that the questions most likely to arise concern
specific death rates from cancer and emphysema for workers in the Valley and
at Texas City. It seems Implausible that CMA did not share specific numbers
with each company from the study...or that we would not be interested enough
to secure those numbers. ,We ^oth strongly feel these questions mus.t be i V
answered. "iVj o c.'r.'J r a r*"T
