Hodges - PHODG Mr. P. S. Park - PPARK Mr. J. E. Springgate - JSPRI cc Mr. John J. Spano - JSPAN Attached for your review is all of the material which we plan to send to Environment magazine in reply to their letter of November 18 for additional information beyond our position statement on PCBs. Please call with your comments immediately, as the magazine has asked for a reply by December 15. The only change I have made, from what we agreed upon at our meeting, was the reference to Swan Chemical Co. I believe not mentioning the relationship between Monsanto and Swan, a point the magazine can dig out on their own, would put us in a bad light. Please comment if you do not agree. The attached statement from the research department I left intact rather than try and incorporate it into the letter. E. V.
