Gottesman, Ph.D. The Vinyl Institute 155 Route 46 West Wayne, New Jersey 07470 Re: NTP Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens Dear Roy: The National Toxicology Program's Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens has recently been made available. Since you may receive inquiries on this matter, I am enclosing the introductory portion and the sections describing vinyl chloride and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). By way of background, the Fourth Annual Report was issued in 1985 (so obviously the Fifth Annual Report is dated 1989). Both vinyl chloride and DEHP were listed as carcinogens in the Fourth Annual Report, but I thought you might appreciate having a copy of the most recent version for your files. Cordially yours.
