CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION April 9, 1980 To: Vinyl Chloride Technical Panel Vinyl Chloride Research Coordinators Vinyl Chloride Audit Task Group Gentlemen: The demands for the services of the Special Projects staff have increased considerably. In order to provide timely action and to reduce the work load of each Project Administrator to a manageable level, I am working toward a structure whereby each Project Administrator will be responsible for not more than five projects. Toward this end CMA has recently added to its staff Carol R. Stack, Ph.D. Her biographical sketch is enclosed with this letter. Evaluation of the current work load leads me to conclude that transferring the Vinyl Chloride Project from Joe Seawell to Carol is perhaps the most feasible solution for reducing Joe's work load to a more reasonable level.' We at CMA have a high regard for Joe and Panel members have informed us of their recognition of his dedicated efforts on behalf of the Panel. Members have expressed regret that his background will be lost to future Panel operations. Let me assure you that such will not be the case as he will serve in an advisory capacity for as long as necessary. In order to insure a smooth transition, I have met with the Panel Chairman and heads of Task Groups and explained to them the rationale for this change. I have assured them that we shall take all necessary action to preserve the continued effective operation of this Panel. Sincerely, HCS:md Enclosure Hasmukh C.
