EAST COAST OFFICE: 20 Point Crescent Whitestone 57, N. Y. Code 212--FLushing 3-8690 WILLIAM T. INGRAM CONSULTING ENGINEER WEST COAST OFFICE: 90 Panoramic Way Walnut Creek, California Code 415--YEllowstone 4-7582 January 20, 1961 Dear Sir: Several weeks ago I had a letter from Francis Eider referring to the report published in 1943 by A.P.H.A. entitled, "Occupational Lead Exposure and Lead Poisoning." The stock of this bulletin is com pletely exhausted, but calls still are being re ceived for it. Francis poses two questions, one dependent upon the other. They are: (1) shall the bulletin be reprinted, and (2) if so, should it be revised before reprinting? I have a third question upon which the answer to No. 1 is contingent: Should it be the policy of A.P.H.A. to continue preparation and publication of bulletins such as this, or should this be done by some other organiza tion, such as U.S.P.H.S. or A.I.H.A.? I am asking six or eight of my colleagues to express their opinions on these questions. Will you kindly give me your ideas? I hope that you have a copy of this report in your files for reference as it is really in short supply. Members of the original committee, as listed in the report, are not being contacted at this time. This will be done later if it is decided that the bulletin should be revised. Thank you. Sincerely yours Fred R. xngrarn, Chairman Occupational Health Section, A.P.H.A FRI:mi
