What are our responsibilities under OSHA if asked by NIOSH or OSHA personnel about toxicity of vinyl chloride? This agree ment gives us an opportunity to go back to the European group end get their permission to reveal European information. It is theoretically possible that permission would not be granted* Actually* I think it would be. On point B the last paragraph of page 1 of the August 16 letter from ICI, we made It clear that it would be necessary to talk with management personnel of die member companies and they have agreed to this.
