This progren would Include e second "Facts Bulletin* end might also require addition of an expended public relations program of considerable alt*. Chairman Er*leborn expressed a desire to Introduce hi* thoughts on the subject for consideration as an additional program for 1966: Be felt there should be a systematic, organised effort on tbe part of the UA for tbe collection and compilation and analysis of dot* from member companies at the Association to refute Patterson's claims. Mr. Fowler said that a few of the larger companies have started compiling auch data; however, not too many are cooperetlng--moetly through a lack of useful data.

It Is felt that lead sound barriers should be tbe subject of aa Intensive advertising and pro motional campaign. Vibration Barrlera - Conflicting reports cc tbe merits of these peds sheds doubt on tbe usefulness of continued edvertleij* of lead aatlvlbratloo pads at this tine and It has been decided to ebandon such efforts until tbe situation becomes clear vltb respect to tbelr nerlt. lotevorthy Installations vlll still be written up la LEAD, aad the space advertising thus dropped can be usefully converted to sound barrier promotion. . Solder - Results of a aodeet advertising end promotion effort have been beyood our bert erpectaticns.

Cable Progress - loss of the cable narket teens to be abating end e trend towards a alight awing back to lead abeathed cable appears to be In the Baking. Mostly, the 1966 cable promo tion would take tbe fere of exposing potential electrical engineer* 00 a college level to the Baterial. (Mr. Smart suggested that cable advertising stress the coemerclal aspects acre and drop tbe mundane technical approach, for Instance, Mr. fteart mentioned the discovery by other* that In tbe event of fire, high beat, or explosion, lead sheathing has proven sore durable than plastic. Be suggests that other advantages of lead exist that could be emphasised that would perhaps sell It Bore effectively.) Ceramics Prograa - Ccmlag along veil, no major changes, lev developments bear watching, such as Perrite Megoets, lead Blrconate-Tltanats and Porcelain enaoeled aluslmm. Mr. Zlegfeld presented a development proposal from Pair-Rite Carp. to prepare various nixturea of high lead content ceranlc magnet material* vltb which LLA could then sample v s l t Io u s concerns In an effort to Interest a manufacturer to begin production. ---- DIJUIII Ll|| LI A1691 6 Report of Informal Meeting of the Industry Development Comlttee September 23, 1965 1 A Ej e ip **.
