Reis: Yesterday I spoke to Dr. Don Lassiter and transmitted to him the results of personal monitoring for vinyl chloride of operators handling finished resin in our Avon Lake, Ohio plant. He suggested that I send a copy of the data to you for review in your consideration of standards for the vinyl resin users. The data is attached. We are also in the process of conducting personal monitoring studies at our Salem and Marietta, Ohio vinyl resin using plants. I will call Dr. Lassiter whan this data is available to discuss it and decide if it is of sufficient value to also transmit to you. Very truly yours, THE B.F.GOODRICH COMPANY Roger W.
