Met Thoenes and Konrad with Selk and Langhans 2/22, and the urgent problems were covered in my telex of to-day. Attached is a copy of the Malorney report on A-200 and 625. The rele vant parts are that he O.Ks them for use-below ground,pro viding skilled workers do the topping up, the workers are warned to avoid skin contact and Pydraul is kept away from their bread. This was predicated by lethal doses of 2 and 34.5 grams per kilo mouse for A-200 and 625 respectively. When fed slowly with A-200, 1 gram per kilo chicken per day resulted in paralysis in 45 "days and death after a further 3-4 days. With 625 they died after a further 17 days. Hot vapors and decomposi tion products are to be avoided but no phosgene was detected. The report has to go back to Malorney since Thoenes took excep tion to the wording of the last paragraph which he felt too limiting. The B.A.M. report was:\ahecked and it O.Ks AC for use below 18 atmospheres with 20'C intake temperature and 15 with 50*0. Kurt will have 200 copies by the time you come and he will send bomb dimensions direct to you upon receipt. As a result of policy decision by the head of B.A.M. we will get a private report Which will be embodied later in the large official Union report i.e. :we are not getting the union stamp on our report at this time. According to Thoenes we must get satisfactory answers to the fol lowing questions, or we will be limited to new compressor appli cations. What is the effect of AC (after going through a compres sor) on the residual oil and sludge in the airline of a compressor converted to AC? is there any /...

Selk and the XOhnks are all keyed up for the Bonanza close at hand! |7$. M ^ Denis Perry 4-*= ^ MQNS 098089
