Attempts are nov being cade to Interest manufacturers in making and marketing thla kit. Considerable Interest raa expressed In thla Joint LIA-U.S. Potter*' Asso ciation project by representatives of companies vho have not yet been In volved thus far and It vaa suggested that additional research efforts be made to help pottery manufacturers In producing and marketing glazes and dlnnervsre vlth lov lead release values. 10. Toxicology Laboratories. The He*lth ar.d Safety Director visited another toxicology laboratory' as part of the ILZtO Program to obtain suit able facilities for evaluating the nevly developed organo-lead compounds for toxicity. These four laboratories, having submitted proposals to us, are nov being evaluated by the Health and Safety Committee for their suit ability as to our purposes and ve expect to make recommendations to the Director of Research shortly so that the testing program can get under vay. 11.
