As indicated in the attached letter, the next VCM Safety Association Meeting is scheduled for November 18 and 19, 1976. An agenda of the meeting will be supplied as soon as it is avai1able.
CONOCO should be represented at the meeting since past meetings have been beneficial in helping CONOCO gain a "feel" for what the rest of the industry is doing regarding VCM health regulations, etc. The specific selection of attendees should be made after the formal agenda is issued. Excluding a meeting agenda of abnormal importance, I believe the following representation is adequate:
1) Earl Gremillion (Secretary of the Association); 2) Aberdeen-Oklahoma City (one representative); 3) R&D-PED (one representative)
Please inform me if you have particular comments regarding attendance.
I have asked Tom Swanson to include the meeting as an agenda item for the R&E meeting scheduled for September 29 and 30. The objective is to obtain a list of items you would like pursued (officially and unofficially) at the November meeting.
