Mr. John H. Stender Assistant Secretary of Labor U. S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and
Health Administration Washington, D.C. 20210
Dear John:
It was a pleasure to meet you, Al Reis, Don Lassiter and Gene Newman last Thursday. Bob Webber, Herm Waltemate and X appreciated your visit and the time you spent with us, both at our Pedricktown plant and at Mannington Mills. We will certainly continue to cooperate with you and the OSHA organization on the suspected vinyl chloride monomer problem in any way we can.
On the way home on Northwest Airlines, I picked up the enclosed copy of Passages. I thought that the article about Spokane, Washington, beginning on page 13, would interest you.
Sincerely yours.

On U/I/7U at 9:30 AM ve were visited by representatives of the Hew Jersey Depart
ment of Labor and Industry. Vincent Parrillo, Industrial Hygienist* and Jane Voscek, Nurse Consultant, were the inspectors.
Warehouse, Compounding, Mass Resin, Tank Farm, Computer, Pearl/Paste Poly and Drying Areas were toured. Particulate samples were taken in the Mass Resin and Pearl/Paste Bagging Areas. Results of these samples should "be forwarded to us in approximately two weeks.
We received one recommendation, which will he implemented: cigarettes taken into lead handling operations by personnel should he enclosed in plastic cases to prevent contamination, or left elsewhere.
The inspectors showed a real interest in our VC1 precautionary measures, hut offered no suggestions or recommendations for improvement.
They requested a copy of the TWX, dated March 22, 197U, in which OSHA announced
emergency measures to protect workers from vinyl chloride. They were also given a copy of our vessel-entry-check-sheet, as requested.
After a short wr&pup session, the inspectors departed at 2:30 PM,
