The Secretary reported that the proposed budget for 1968 totaled $836,905 and then reviewed the various parts of the budget in detail. He stated that the Association would end the year 1967 with an operating fund of approximately $333,000, thus providing $233,000 for 1968 operations. He pointed out however that about $125,000 of this excess resulted from a special assessment in 1967 from all members for the Health and Safety Public Relations Program. He then requested the Committee's opinion as to whether or not these funds should be allocated to the General fund or kept as a reserve for future Health and Safety Public Relations expenditures. He stated that because of this question two plans for assessments for 1968 were submitted in the budget proposal sent to members on October 11, 1967. He also pointed out that in calculating the 1968 projected income the necessary rates per ton for Industry Development were based on 600,000 tons of pig lead sold in the U.S. which may be a little high based on preliminary figures received. HEALTH AND SAFETY PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM RESERVE After some discussion it was the decision of the Committee to recommend to the Board of Directors that the unexpended funds of the Health and Safety Public Relations program be set up as a reserve at the end of 1967 and that 1968 expenditures be made against this reserve. 1968 BUDGET AND RATES PER TON On the basis of the committee's recommendation with respect to the Health and Safety funds, the Secretary reported on the pro jected 1968 income and disbursements as follows: |_ IA01 51 0 Industry Development Committee Meeting Minutes -3- November 3, 1967 Regular Estimated Balance,, Jan. 1, 1968.

He reported that they expressed a decided interest and would probably participate financially. A preliminary breakdown of a possible financial participation of all cooperating groups (which is now in the discussion stage) was presented as follows: City Transit Co. of Dayton, Ohio The Flxible Co. Lead industries Association Westmghouse Electric Corp. Edison Electric Institute $ 27,000 50,000 50,000 50,000 210,000 U.S. Housing & Urban Development Agency $ 387,000 773,000 $1,160,000 At a question, the Secretary stated that no funds need be allocated at this time but requested an expression of opinion as to whether or not this project should be pushed. A motion was then made, seconded and unanimously carried that the Association continue their efforts in the development of a battery-powered bus.

He stated that among other things, it recommends that 'The Federal Government should immediately establish standards for the lead content in gasoline which will prevent any further increase in the total quantity of lead emitted to the atmosphere.'1 The Chairman requested the Secretary to get sufficient copies of the report and tc attach them to the minutes of the meeting. (Acknowledgement cf LIA s order for these reports has been received from the Government Printing Office indicating that there will be a delay in shipment because LlA's order "is one cf several thousands received today," They will be sent to the Committee as soon as received.) NEW USES FOR LEAD The Chairman stated that every effort snould be made by industry representatives and more particularly, LIA staff members, in searching for and developing new uses for lead. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 12:00 noon. DMB:so Att: Exhibit "A" David M.

Other areas that ore ard will ce actively promoted include leaded porcelain enamels, lead x-ray appn: ations and lead in plumbing In connection with the latter (plumbing), a fairly severe decline has taK.r-n pm.ee in "tne last three years in the consumption of calking lean, currently at 63,000 tons. Several years ago LiA had a small campaign but it was discontinued. Neoprene is the competition and ILZRO is apparently developing some corrosion data, adverse tc neopione that noted ce most useful. If these research resuits can be exploited during 1968, a sma.ll campaign could be plugged into this overall. ar_hu tecturaj. ana construction program without changing the money requested Continuance of LIA roofing and Flashing, Sound Attenuation and Waterproofing catalogs in Sweet's Architectural File, with the first two also in Sweet s Industrial Construction File is reoemmendea. In Addition tc these activities 11 is planned to continue the direct mail campaign with Arcn.itectura.i and Construction Bulletins, the first of which, entitled LlACltlR EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Nov. 3> 1967 -7Arc'mtectural and Construction (Continued) "Acoustical Plenum Barriers and How to Install Them," was puolishea and distributed early in 1967. The present market for all metallic lead products used in the construction industry is over 1x0,000 tons. Recommendation for 1968 along with comparable 1967 budget follows: Space. Advertising Sweet's Catalog Files Arch, & Constr. Bulletins Total 1968 1967 $73,000 6^,400 $9,60c 9,600 $5,000 5,000 $87,600 82,000 CABLE - Table 111 3-2) This market, remaining fairly static from 1962 to 1964 shoved a better trior 15 per cent increase :n 1965 and i960. The trend, is continuing in I967. cases cn the first six months figures. LIA efforts in this area have been directed to e.ertnc utilities ana engineer and its advertisements strsss the 100 per cent reiiabi1lty of lead sheathing This will be continue-! w: in more effort- The present market for read in cade sheathing : s 66,000 tens. Recommendation for 1968 along with the comparable i967 budget fellows , 1967 1968 Space Advertising $12,ICO $14,300 INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES PROGRAM - Table III B-3) and B-24) This market continues to be one promising major growth, with the past 0 years shewing steady increases in consumption from 38,000 tons in 1962 to 59,000 tons in 1966. The end seems nowhere in sight provided major promotional efforts are continue It is felt that LIA s efforts should be directed along two paths, the first a continuation of present programs, increased space advertising, direct mail and field effort with industrial battery and electric truck manufacturers, Also, with the utility companies in developing trade shows conducted for their industrial customers. The Increase in space advertising is suggested so that LTA's efforts can be broadened into areas of potential that have net yet been touched. There is no great effort being expended in these new areas by the truck and battery companies themselves The second path of activity is one requested of LIA by a number of important electric utility companies, Namely, the education of more than 1,500 industrial salesmen in the advantages of battery-powered vehicles. These salesmen sell elec tricity and, as the utilities point out, such is difficult until, someone first sells LIA01520 EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Iiov, 3, 1967 Industrial Batteries Program (Continued) a product, a process, or a vehicle that- uses electricity, Hence, an important utility interest in industrial lead-acid battery power. This educational approach to utility salesmen has to now been on a hit or miss basis with the LIA staff conducting such programs as have been arranged - about 12 during 1967. A much more detailed program is now proposed. The first step would be the creation of the tools necessary for the conduct of educational seminars. Among these are a 12-1/2 minute sound color motion picture depicting the advantages of lead-acid battery power and the wide range and types of vehicles currently available. Actual on-the-job sequences are to be included. Also planned is the preparation of additional literature to be incorporated into an expanded "PoweT' Sales Handbook" for each of the power salesmen. The present 'Power Sales HandbooK" is simpi.y sent to the utility for distribution to its men,, LIA has been assured of the cooperation of the industrial battery manufacturers, a ma-or portion of tne electric track manufacturers, several major utilities and probably most importantly the tentative approval of the Educational, Promotional and Sales Committee of the Edison Electric Institute. It is likely that the educational program would be continuous for at least three years with the first year mostly devoted to preparation, and the second and third to seminars, each with the aid of an LIA. staff member. It is expected that budget needs for years two arid three would not exceed those for 1968. Recommendation for both of these activities in 1968 are as follows; 1968 1967 Promotion Space Ad'rer11 s 1 ng $47,000 36,800 Battery Publications $3,000 3,000 1968 Total $50,000 Educational Film Literature Miscellaneous 1968 $18,000 $5,000 $2,000 $25,000 PIGMENTS AND CHEMICALS - Table III B-4) Total $75,ooo Continuation of promotional efforts in behalf of lead pigments and lead chemicals is recommended. In the field of paint pigments LIA has to now concentrated on metal protective paints and chrome yellow traffic marking paint. Not only are the conventional products, LIA01521 I EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Nov. 3, I967 Pigments and Chemicals (Continued) - 9- red lead and lead chromate, included in LIA's programs but a whole new family of compounds (the best known of which is basic lead silico-chromate) will be actively promoted. Architects, construction and highway engineers, and public officials, respon sible for paint selection and their application, are being made aware of lead's widespread virtues, acceptance and use in protecting steel structures from corrosion as well as in its use as the standard traffic marking device. Such is being accomplished through the use of a wide range of subject matter in advertisements placed in magazines concentrating on these audiences. In the field of ceramics, this program was cut to the minimum during 1967 because it was felt that the basic job of establishing lead as another working tool for the ceramist had been accomplished. We suggest however that supplements to the LIA book "Lead in the Ceramic Industries" be continued. The present market for the lead pigments in those paints being promoted by LIA probably account for well over 10,000 tons and in ceramics well over 25,000 tons annually. Recommendation for!968 along with the comparable 1967 budget follows: Space Advertising Ceramic Supplements Total_ 1968 1967 $21,000 22,200 $2,000 2,000 $26,000 21,200 SOLDER, IERNE AND DESIGN ENGINEERING PROGRAM - Table III B-5) The basic intent of LIA efforts in these fields continues to be one of finding and developing new markets for old products such as solder and terne, and developing markets for new lead containing products. The latter includes suchdevelopments as lead piezoelectrics and lead telluride, as well as batteries for portable tools and appliances, among others. ILZRO findings can also be incorporated as they are made available. With this approach in mind we have, in the past, concentrated practically all efforts in these areas in reaching the design engineer and recommend that this be continued. A major effort will continue with solder and terne with a lesser effort on a host of other products. The 1966 consumption figures for Solder was 79,000 tons, the use having shown a steady year by year increase from 1962 when it was 67,000 tons. Lead for Terne has shown a similar trend from 3,700 tons in 1962 to 5,100 tons in 1966. LIAC1522 Recommendation for 1968 along with the comparable 1967 budget follows: 1968 1967 Space Advertising $31,200 31,900 Sweets' Catalog File $3,700 3,700 Total $37,900 35,600 EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Nov. 3, 1967 -10- ADVERTISING SPACE PRODUCTION COSTS AND MISCELLANEOUS - Table III B-7) The total number of ads to be prepared with the proposed space advertising program will be approximately the same as in 1967. However, greater use of twocolor ads will increase production costs. The 1967 budgeted figure, $25,000 included costs in connection with the Safety Color Coding Program which was cancelled. Recommendation for 1968 along with the comparable 1967 budget follows: 1968 1967 $25,000 25,000 GENERAL SUPPORTING PROGRAMS The following programs support and implement all of LlA's promotional efforts and are a major part of the total activities. "LEAD" - Table III B-8) In our opinion, "Lead" is one of the most effective promotional efforts of the Association. Published quarterly it is currently being circulated to 57,000 individ ual readers in the United States. The total print order is 7^,000 with 9,800 copies sold at cost to members and distributed by them. In addition 2,700 copies are supplied LDA and ALDA. At the end of 1966 the mailing list was converted to a computer system which failed to operate properly. As a result, only three issues of "Lead" are scheduled for 1967. In 1968, four issues are planned. Recommendation for 1968 along with comparable 1967 budget follows: 1968 1967 $37,000 37,000 CONVENTIONS AND EXHIBITS - Table III B-9) The continuation of LIA's participation in industry trade shows is highly recommended. One of many advantages presented by such exhibits is the opportunity to discuss personally with hundreds of people "How,"Where" and "Why" lead can be used in their specific fields. Exhibits in 1968 are planned for the following: Design Engineering Show Plant Engineering & Maintenance Show Construction Specification Institute Exposition National Plumbing Exposition American Institute of Architects Meeting LIA01523 EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Nov. 3, I967 Conventions and Exhibits (Continued) -11- The reduction in funds for 1968 is due to the fact that the 1967 budget provided $3,000 for the construction of a new exhibit background which will be reused.

Roughly 1,000 copies per month are currently distributed in the United States. The higher cost results from an increased charge from LDA.

Throughout the year articles on lead and its uses prepared by the LIA staff and others appear in the trade press. These become very useful and economical promotional tools when reprinted and distributed as a direct mail piece using existing and appropriate mailing lists. Recommendation for 1968 along with the comparable 1967 budget follows: 1968 196 T7 $10,000 10,000 TEST PROGRAMS - Table III 3-12) Sheet Lead Roofing and Pool Linings - One new test program was instituted in 1967, in cooperation with the National Lead Co. Laboratories, John F. Abernethy Co., and LIA. This involves a test installation of a new method of installing sheet lead roofs without t..e need for conventional expansion joints. It has been on exposure for less than 6 months, too short a time to develop any information. As previously reported, an experimental reflecting pool lining has now been on exposure for 30 months with most satisfactory results. A paper is being prepared on the pool test. Battery Powered Bus - As reported last year efforts were then underway to conduct a cooperative test program on battery-powered buses. LIA efforts are continuing with C 3c D Battery Co., (specializing in industrial batteries). Westinghouse Electric Co. and Dayton City Transit Co. A group met at the Westinghouse plant in East Pittsburgh as recently as August 23, 1967. LIA0152A EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Committee Meeting - Nov. 3, 1967 -12- Batterv Powered Bus (Continued) At E. Pittsburgh, Westinghouse stated unequivocally that a battery-powered bus can be made and that the motors and necessary solid state controls are available. They strongly recommended, however, that the project be taken to the Federal Housing and Urban Development Agency (H.U.D.) They believe the project will end with a total cost from 1 to 3 million dollars. According to Westinghouse, H.U.D. could and probably would finance two-thirds of such a project. Under the Law however, H.U.D. must deal only with a local govern ment or its agencies. A City would qualify with private organizations supplying equipment, labor and/or funds. Through the Dayton City Transit Co. and the Dayton Power and Light Co. the City of Dayton has been approached and is in tentative agreement. The Edison Electric Institute is expected to cooperate and a meeting with them will have been held on October 11, 1967. It would not be practical for the Association to estimate at this time the ultimate extent of LIA's financial participation in this project. It is intended however to keep the Association's financial participation at a minimum if in fact any funding should prove necessary. In any event, if the project is acceptable to H.U.D., project funds would not be needed until fiscal year 1968-69- No funding is suggested until a more con crete proposal can be placed before the committee.

In addition, the film distributor has incorporated 2j minute segments of our film in two 12j minute "TV Calvacade" presentations. Because of production problems only one of tnese is ready for distribution and tne second is in preparation. There was no cost to us for the preparation of the film, but a total charge of $3,500 per "Calvacade" for 200 telecasts each was to be made. Only part of this will be ex pended this year. ITA's Board of Directors in April, approved the modifications needed on "The lead Matrix" to meet the requirements of the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Also approved was the creation of 250 prints of.the adapted film for distribution through the Bureau's educational film library. A sum of $30,000 was approved for this work, which will be completed in 1961 Recommendation for 1968 along with the comparable 196 7 budget follows: 1967 1968 Private distribution U.S. Bureau of Mines $16,000 30,000 $16,000 2,000 $16,000 $18,000 HEALTH AND SAFETY PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM - Table III B-15 With respect to the problems of lead as a hazard in the atmosphere the situation in 1967 demanded more direct confrontation with legislative and public health officials rather than with scare articles appearing in the public press, which had diminished somewhat. Hill Sc Knowlton, Inc. continued throughout 1967 as LIA public relations counselor on Health and Safety and was most helpful. Their assistance was invaluable in the preparation of the World Health Organization paper presented by Drs. Hoover & Goldwater at the American Public Health Association meeting. LIA015 2fc EXHIBIT "A" Industry Development Commattee Meeting - Nov. 3, 1967 -14- Health and Safety Public Relations Program (Continued) Tnis paper proved beyond a doubt that blood lead levels in New Guinea natives was not any different from those of residents of urban areas m the U.S. Also, Hill & Know!ton was heavily involved in the preparation of LIA's Facts Bulletin. "Lead in the Atmosphere now being reviewed. Hill 4 Knovlton attended with LIA staff public hearings on limiting lead m the atmcspnere m Pennsylvania and Montana. Both these states have adopted regulations limiting lead to 5 macrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over 30 days. Montana, however, had advocated 1 microgram per cubic meter averaged over 24 hours which was changed following industry representations to the State Health Board. Congres sional hearings conducted by the Daddario Committee cf the House were also attended. Hill Sc Knovlton routinely monitors press, radio, TV and world literature and reports to LIA. They also act as liaison between the lead industry and editors of trade and public papers in an effort to forestall incorrect or improper references to lead. As an adjunct to these public relations activities, LIA publishes and carefully distributes 550 copies of abstracts of the World's medical literature on lead pre pared by Kettering The gross cost of this activity is $12,000 with L.D.A. contrib uting $1,000 and ILZR0 $2,500.

Such articles would be prepared by the agency's staff after con sultation with LIA. This is a very effective and economical means of securing editorial treatment of lead and its uses in a wide range of publications. It is proposed that the full time of one man in the agency chosen be assigned this task. The agency would also place the articles in the proper publications and maintain close contact with editors of trade publications on behalf of lead. Recommended 1968 budget for this new activity is as follows : 19to $35,000 DMB:so
