MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Tacoma. Washington September 6, 1968 A y9 m-v YV t *< iV* .Mr. D. H. Soutar American Smelting & Refining Co. 120 Broadway New York, New York 10005 Re: The bulletin "Problems Arisine from the use of Asbestos" Dear Doue: This is a very factual report and the prob lems which are presented are a real challenge. They admit the English experience differs somewhat from that in the U. S. and, hopefully, the cause of the difference can eventually be found. In the TJ. s. we have many tumors of the intestinal tract which seem to be related to asbestos. England has not found such an association. Just why this difference is present remains to be seen. Sincerely yours, SSPtve Enel. ~ --^ ___ - SHERMAN S. PINTO, M. D. ASARCO ALL 0000057
