L. K WHEELOCK VICE PRESIDENT 212-953-5021 STJOE MINERALS COPPORATKDN 250 PARR AVENUE NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 August 25, 1976 Mr. K. W. Nelson, Vice President Environmental Affairs Asarco, Inc. 120 Broadway New York, N.Y. 10005 Dear Ken: We concur, of course, with the suggested approach for the ILZRO/SERA meeting on August 2 7th. The report is obviously written with a pre-determined view in mind, heavy in ominous implications and suggestive of problems whenever there is an open question. Is our input to be confined to technical questions or will it be worth the effort of preparing editorial commentaries; will there be further inputs through our trade groups, beyond the August 27th meeting? Yours sincerely LKW: L bcc: D. H. Beilstein G. E. Welch L. K. Wheelock
