Tom C. Ford - St. Louis February 19, 1969 Mr. Walter E. Schalk Here's a copy of the proposed reply to the San Francisco Chronicle about possible contamination of wildlife from polychlorinated biphenyls. This answer was worked out with Jack Garrett of Elmer Wheeler's group. It was reviewed with Bob Keller and also with Paul Benignus, in Olson's absence. I understand you now want to review the answer with Ernie Robson. I am also delivering a copy to Howard Bergen for his information. The editor called Monday and it has taken this long to formulate an answer. I should call him back as soon as possible. Would yen and Howard please let me knew your comments; if you like, I will be glad to come ffi/er, TCI tsfh attach: Press Inquiry Tom C. Ford dSVM 200056 STLCOPCB4058120
