As you will note, Gary has inquired as to whether we would like him to follow an anticipated step-up in Environmental Protection Agency enforcement actions expected to be brought under the Clean Air Act. In light of your recent instructions to us to curtail your data accumulation operation and the clear mandate from the members of the Vinyl Institute to "keep it down," at least as far as legal fees are concerned, I thought it would be best to simply ask you how you feel about Gary's inquiry. I suspect that some of the members would consider his performing the "close watch" service valuable so you may want to poll the group. In any case, I will await your instructions before responding to Gary in a definitive way. With best personal regards. Cordially yours, Jerome H. Heckman SPI-12445
