MANF RE D BOWDI TCH DIRECTOR OF HEALTH ANO SAFETY ai'ch 8, 1956 Robert . Kehoe, M.D., Director* Kettering Laboratory University of Cincinnati Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19. Ohio L'ear Bob: Yours of the 5t'n anent Schlink reminds me of an " occasion when I had administered a well merited dressing-down to one lieCord in the presence of one Drinker. Phil's comment, when my wrath had been spent, was "One thing about Manfred, you always knowwhat he thinks about you." I certainly now knowwhat von think about Schlink, and while I amin large measure in agreement with you, I believe we should remember that fostering the concept that he is protecting his subscribers from dire peril is some part of his bread and butter. In your position, your attitude is of course quite jus tified, but in mine, with the thought that the man can probably do us more harm than vre can do him, I have felt that I should try to foster his good will. The letter of Y.rhich a copy is here with seems to indicate that I have in some measure succeeded, and I think it doubtful that he will in the future repeat his past irresponsible pronouncements on the leaded smog question. Sincerely, Enclosure
