Kehoe, M.D., Director Kettering Laboratory University of Cincinnati Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio - Dear Bob; The references to gasoline additives towards the bottom of the third column of my enclosure may be of some interest to you. I have just received, more or less in confidence, copies of the following four documents: 1. Report of a meeting of the Scientific Committee of the L.A.C.A.P.C.D. on December 15, 1955, Doctors Walter E. Macpherson, A.J. Haagen-Smit, Fred Bryan, Francis M. Pottenger, Clinton H. Thienes, Thomas J. Haley present. 2. Report of a meeting of the same committee on January 2U, 1956, the above and Doctors Gordon Alles, Ulric B. Bray, Albert L. Chaney and Hurley L. Motley; as well as Dr. S.L. Rankin of the duPont Company, Dr. Lester Breslow of the State Department of Public Health, Mr. Griswold and six other representatives of the L.A.C.A.P.C.D. present. - 3. Ancillary to this, a report to the Scientific Committee by its Sub committee To Study The Time Factor in Determining Whether Or Not An Alert Is To Be Called. lu Also ancillary to number two, a statement on "Sickness and Death Threshold in Los Angeles Smogs" by Dr. Clarence A.

If you want any of this material passed to you under the table, let me know. Sincerely, MB:GW Enclosure cc: Mr. Costello KE 0004870
