C lars New Brunswick, N.J. August 9, 1971 1! You asked if we intended to examine competitive body and baby J powder, I d i s c u s s e d th is with D r. N ashed, who indicated that if we do, we a r e m o ra lly but not legally bound to furnish such information to the FDA. Since such an alyses would probably not be as thorough as those c a r r ie d out on our ta lc, we might be in the position of going to the FDA with information dam aging to our com petitors, which we would not wish to stand behind; indeed, if we wished to give such evidence at all. We probably could s c a n a few co m petitive s a m p le s for a s b e s t o s ju st for our inform ation and not subm it to FDA on the b a s is that' the information is not scientifically complete and valid.
