April 14, 1956 Dr. R. E. Sc karat Esso Research and Engineering Company P. O. Box 121 Linden, New Jersey Dear Doctor Eckardt: Ir*. the matter of the information on trimethyl ethyl lead, I shall merely inform President Shea of Ethyl Corporation of your interest. I anticipate that he will advise me, perhaps after consulting one or two other people, tc follow my own judgment and to inform him of any pertinent developments My only purpose is to avoid any inadvertent misuse of confidential infor mation which has come to me as Medical .Director of Ethyl Corporation. There are times, occasionally, when I must consider what responsibility is associated with the particular hat I am wearing. Usually there is no clash, or if there is such, it is obvious. However, I have never been quite clear just where the joint interests of Ethyl and Jersey and and their distinctly separate interests begin. I pre ounce that soma of your people will wish to confer with me. I am sure that I can do this on fairly short notice. I shall await further word from you in loo course. Sincerely yours, BAK ef Robert A. Keho M. D )
