I have been asked by the talc group to write you and-request that'you prepare and have ready for shipment representative samples of at least five pounds each of your crude ore or ores (if-you have different types) as well as of your major talc products. As you will see from the copy of the minutes you will receive from Alan Dankworth of Engelhard, several company representatives indicated the possibility of cooperating in gathering extensive mineralogical data on the different talc ores for use in our dealings with the authorities, in Washington and in the various states in connection with, health and safety and environmental regulations. It is agreed that the data developed from these samples will be open to all the members of the talc group who contribute to it financially. It is further agreed that this data will not be available to anyone else without written permission from the particlar company involved. Portions of the samples if needed by others in the group for mineralogical testing not available at the above`two laboratories would be sent to the particular company laboratory in question under the'same conditions. The above can be discussed further at our next meeting scheduled for June 15th at 10 A.M. in the Vanderbilt offices, Sincerely yours, R. -C. Bacon, 'Director Research '& Development Division RCB:mjh
