Dr. Echo, as you know, is the foremost authority on the evaluation of lead intoxication and hi laboratory has excellent facilities to conduct such analyses. I regret that m are unable to assist you at this . tim. Sincerely yours,) TFKsab DCs Dr. Kehoe ^hoaaa P. Kancuso, K.D. Chief, Industrial Hygiene Division N20142
