They were not aware of th* fact that the grinding performed by Mr. Santilli was not'part of his normal job, and that he had only done this work oneitime.for three hours. Theywere in agreement with me that the-claim-should not be investiga as an occupational disease and'asked .that, you-return the file to their office for further processing.- Sincerely, Donald B.
