This study was commissioned by the Vinyl Institute in order to develop an objective review of the material which was sent to your office by the Greenpeace organization last year. In addition to this summary, we have a three-volume appendix that includes copies of the articles referenced in the "Dioxin Factories" report, which we would gladly make available to you on request. Hopefully, you will find this input useful and we look forward to the report of your task force when your analysis is complete. Sincerely yours, RHB/pmb bcc: R. F. F. P. M.
