HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH 55 SHATTUCK STREET BOSTON 15, MASSACHUSETTS January 21, 1946 Mr. Allen Di Brandt Research Laboratory American Society o* Heating * Ventilating Engineers 10700 Euclid Avenue Cleveland 6, Ohio Dear A 1lens !Answering Kehoe's Committee letter of January IS, I would favor strongly an employment office at our forthcoming meeting in April in Chicago. I do not see why this could not b set uo jointly with the Industrial Physicians and Surgeons and everything would be handled by a oerson stationed aooropriatei y at each desk, but both desks could very wel 1 be in the same ->lace. : I would not look for anything startling to come from our cooperation! with Mr. Strong, After all, we neoresent only something like 300 persons, although I do not doubt that it has grown. It certainly is not over 400. If you snd Bowditch 8oprove, I will fill out his questionnaire op which I no^e that both of you have copies, as both are listed by Strong.as being on his mailing 'ist, as am. I, and I will send the cooy into Mr. Strong. ; Please refer to his question. My answer to number 1 is that our bureau is in the hands of our secretary and is por our members only. If emoloyers inquire, we would refer them to men we know are interested. My answer to 2 would be that our field is industrial hygiene, both engineering and medical asoeots. On item 3--we nrefer to handle our inauiries ourselves. Item 4 will be our secretary. Item 5--we i will list tve cue! locations of any member so desiring, and if an interested emoloyer asks us for names, we will `'ixnish t vem in whatever detail the member filing the information oermits. In general it would be best simply to give t>*e emoloyer the nem of our member and let the* correspond in that fashion. Tinker 6 and 7 I would have no additional comments. I would sign this as 'TiairinBn of our Emo''oyment Committee.! I suggest that Bowditch and Brandt answer this to me with copies to each other and to Kehoe. If we don't agree, we win. settle the differences at once by corresnondence, and I will then write Mr. Strong. Presumably both you and Bowditch wil1 see that your friends get your pew addresses within a reasonable time. This is not a comnla int of criticism, just a humtib prayer. Sincerely yours. OCs M. Bowditch R. Kahoe /* Philip Drinker
