Eck Louis Kettler The minutes of the previous meeting of April 10-11, 1962 were circulated to members after that meeting and no changes or corrections were received. The president welcomed the participants at the meeting and made the following remarks t Welcome to the Annual Meeting of the Lead Industries Association! Since this is the Thirty-fifth Anniversary it might not be amiss to review briefly the history of our Association, particularly for ths benefit of those who nay hare Joined our group in recent years. In 1928, at the instigation of ths late Clinton H. Crane, then president of the St. Joseph Lead Company, and with the cooperation of other leaders in LIA21259 Annual Heating Minutes -5- April 29-30, 1963 the lead Industry, ten lead producing and consuming companies In the United States and Canada subscribed equally to an underwriting fund to finance es tablishment of a trade association for the lead industry. Ths servicss of Felice B. Woinsar, a consulting mining engineer and forcer associate editor of"Engineering and Mining Journal," wore engaged to interest both lead pro ducers and consumers in Joining such an association. In Kovember, 1928, tbs Lead Industries Association was formally organlsod with 35 member companies. The underwriters were reimbursed for the organisational funda they had ad vanced, and ths Association became self-sustaining on its membership sub scriptions. Ths first annual budget, that for 1929, was $30,000. Hr. Woraaar was appointed secretary and treasurer and Hr. Crane was elected president and board chairman. Theaa men occupied these positions respectively until 1947 and 1948. : L.I.A. at that tine was and still is somewhat unusual in that it is a vertical association with its membership drawn from lead miners, lead smelters and refiners, lead manufacturers and even makers of products in idiich lead is only a component, such as ammunition, cable and batteries. Among the first activities of L.I.A. were the collection and dissemina i tion of statistics. These included reports of pig lead sales In the U.3. and, being a vertical association, shipments of various lead products. There has been little change in the statistical services of the Association throughout the years except to expand or altar them as the need arose. Another very early activity was in the field of hygiene. Recognizing both its public responsibility and the ham done to the lead business by mis understandings and lack of knowledge of lead toxicology, the Association began the support of worthy work in this field early in its existence. The now famous research work of Dr. Joseph C. Aub and others in this field has had financial and other kinds of support'throughout the years. In 1948 a full time staff position of Health and Safety Director was established to guide and coordinate such activities, maintain contacts with public health officials, and disseminate accurate information on the subject. This work continues on an intensified level today. r s Also, early in its existence the L.I.A. began the promotion of lead and its products by publication of technical books and establishment of its own house organ LEAD, supplemented by publicity in the trade papers and exhibits at trade shows. In more recent years space advertising has been resorted to in order to reach beyond our immediate customers and Influence the design engineers and architects who are responsible for specifying the use of our products. S i. All of these promotional tools result in a vast lumber of Inquiries for literature or technical service each year. Last year these amounted to over 7,000 individual inquiries for more than 30,000 pieces of literature. Con sequently, the technical service provided by the staff in handling such in A. quiries and in preparing technical literature is the core of L.I.A.'s opera tions, Seven specialists in various fields of technology and lead application, from whom you will hear later in our program, constitute this technical service organization which is now headed by Robert L. Ziegfeld, who succeeded Felix V/oraser in 1947 as secretary and treasurer of the L.I.A. and became executive 1 vice president in 1961. Hr. Ziegfeld la a mining engineer and has bean with the Association since 1929, four months after its organization.

Out of this can# organisation of the Cable Sheathing Task Qroup in 1955 and the subsequent program to perfect the continuous extrusion of lead cable eheathing. Also the Ceramics Technical Cocnittoe was formed in 1955 which resulted in the broad research fellowship program on lead in ceramics started in 1957* The use of lead in ceramics in the U.3. has shown substantial growth since that time. The Technical Steering Committee also initiated an investigation of the research needs of the lead industry by Battello Memorial Institute in 1957. In the sane year a study of how tha use of lead in the architectural field could be expanded was made for us by the well-krown archi tectural-engineering firm of Skidmore Owings and Merrill. Research did not become a separate major activity of the Association until about four and a half years go with the establishment of the Expanded Research Program under Dr. Schrade Radtke as research director and the enlist ment of broader support for research from producers throughout the Pres World. Although L.I.A.'s promotional efforts have long been supported by world pro ducers who sell pig lead in the States, foreign participation in the Research Program has been most welcome and is recognition of our ccroon cause in creat ing new markets for our metal. From its modest start 35 years ago, L.I.A. has become a highly respected technical and educational organization of about 60 members with an annual budget now close to $1,000,000, split about half and half between research and market development. Organization of E.R.P. has served to focus attention on the need of technical advancements as a stimulus to new markets. In the early days of the Lead Industries Association promotional programs were jointly financed by the lead producers and manufacturers in ratios mutual ly agreed upon for each specific product, such as pigments, metallic lead pro ducts and so forth. By the early 1950's the producers began to realize that if any major promotional efforts were to be undertaken they would bare to be largely, or oven exclusively, financed by the pig lead sellers. Therefore, in 1954 at an informal meeting of the producers it was decided to establish a new Industry Development Fund, which would be subscribed only by the lead sellers on the basis of tonnage sold in the United States, and would be administered by a cocnitteo representing each of the producers sub scribing to this fund. Formation of this committee, later known as the Industry Development Cocnittee, was officially approved by the Board of Directors oo Novembor 30, 1954 at the same meeting at which formation of the Technical Steer ing Cocnittee was approved. Subsequently no funds were requested for promotion al activities from manufacturers and the Industry Development Fund became tha only promotional fund. The Industry Development Cocnittee today is not only responsible for the guidance of the promotional activities, but also reviews the commercial aspects of research programs after their technical feasibility has bean approved by the Technical Steering Cocnittee. The I.D.C. makes the final recomnendation on all Association funds, including E.R.P., to the Board of Directors. In recognit ion of the support foreign producers have given the research program, steps are now being taken to provide two place* on our Board for representatives of this group. me* r.KWOVj* n j >'MfrEWv'W. *yp.fpgttP* antx/am*.
