FILE NAME: Asbestos Cement Pipe and Sheet (ACPS) DATE: 1968 April 19 DOC#: ACPS048 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Memo - Visits to Finderne - Asbestos Water Studies April! 19, 19&8 - 'J TO: Jay Baker CC: F.J. Solon, Jr E. M. Fenne M. M. Swetonic RE: VISITS TO FINDERNE - ASBESTOS/WATER STUDIES Attached is a copy of a letter from Ed Fenner confirming that the Public Health Service people will visit Finderne on May 15 and 16 to review the results of the studies, conducted to date, on possible water contamination from asbestos-cement pipe. You had felt that this might be an opportune time to invite represen tatives of the Nashville Board of Health and Vanderbilt University. Since I will be out of town next week, I would suggest that you deal, directly, with Ed Fenner about this possibility. Among the points I am sure you will want to cover with Ed are: 1. Whether or not PHS would object to having the other group of people invited at the same time as their visit. 2. Just what kind of data we will have to show to PHS and/or the other group by Ma y 15. 3. Whether it might be possible for PHS to issue invitations to the Nashville Board of Health and Vanderbilt people to join them in visiting our Research Center. The rationale behind such an approach would be that Dr. Bistowich, Dr. Snell and the others have asked the PHS for advice; ergo PHS could have a reason for inviting them to "come along and see" on Ma y 15 and 16. 4. While it would be nice to have the Nashville and Vanderbilt people present at the same time as the PHS representatives, I know you would agree that the first obligation is to accede to the wishes of PRODUCED JM-83 More -. Jay Baker - 2April 19,1968 the Public Health Service on this subject. You can always invite the Tennessee folks at a later date. ' wpr/eb att. PRODUCED JM-83
