The Saranac laboratory Saranac Lake, 5.T. August 15, 1946 Mr. Vandiver Broun, Secretary Johns-Manville Corporation 22 East Fortieth Street, 1 Few Fork 16, S.I. Dear Mr. 3rown: So one feels worse than I over the delay In -- Ing a final report on our studies in asbestos is, but I could not foresee a war and what it would do to ny staff and the obligations placed upon Be. Mr. Sohrbach's suggestion that I present a brief state-' stent of our conclusions in advance of a completed report is entirely logical, but, obviously, it will be necessary for ae to revise all of the large amount of experimental data that we have accumulated before I can do even this. Sy own Bind is fairly well made up about the significance of our work at the present tine; nevertheless, I should verify these im pressions by review of our material. - 1 earnestly hope that it aay be possible for u to do -fhl* during the cooing winter. On completion of the review, 1 will sake every effort to send you copies of such a sta tenant for distribution to the senbers of the asbestos industry who have contributed to the snpport of the work. Sincerely yours, s/ Leroy U. Gardner wr * V
