This work was done over a year ago. However, because of the sudden increase of inquiries on dioxin by the press and by our customers, Monsanto has recently decided once again to analyze all of our chlorophenols for TCDD, using the most current methods and equipment available. We will be developing these data over the next several months; and if there is any change from our previous findings, we will notify you accordingly. Sincerely i - . Antimicrobials mg cc: Mr. J. R. Getz Mr. D. G. Little SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER.
