October 5, 1976 Edyia C. Holstein, M. 0. Environmental Sciences Laboratory Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of Hew York Fifth Avenue and 100th Street .. New York, NT 10029 Sear Sr. Holstein I have given further thought to your letter of September 21, 1976 regarding the situation at Fort Allegany, Pennsylvania. In your letter you state that "Mount Sinai will help to set up the registry along lines that have been successful elsewhere." You also state that "Finally, we will hulp to find on-going sources of flading for the registry end the medical testing." The purpose of this letter Is to make inquiry of you concerning where you will be looking, for such funding? So you have any idea as to what the cost of such e program-will be? Perhaps our Inter national Union could behelpful to some degree, for after all the men who were exposed were members of oar organisation. In addition, Z would use whatever influence X would have with officials of the Pittaburgh-Coming Corporation arid the Corning Glass Works to see if they might make a contribution. I Just don't know how these matters are handled. Perhaps such funding? ^arrange ments are worked out with the Government. 1 do believe, however, chat because of our vital Interest in thl* affair we should make the foregoing inquiry of you. Very truly yours. GMP/kl Georgs M. Parker International President | BB 0000746 | 01 1584
