D'ALONZO, M. D. July 27, 1966 OrMnal SJcmM By CA.O'AiONZO,AAO. I am vary anxious Co inauguraca a pulmonary function screening practice in our plants, hopefully starting where it is most likely to be most rewarding--at the Chambers Works. A recent Seminar at Ohio State University further convinces me of the increasing need and value of such a policy. It is likely that, in the future, the institution of this practice might bring the Company rewards in both the prevention of some pulmonary diseases, the alleviation of others, and distinct medico-legal advantages as well. This practice might be likened to the routine chest x-rays and hearing studies Inaugurated in previous years, the rewards of which were and still are being reaped. Dr. Scoppe la already working an this problem, and I am sure he and you have already discussed 'this. It will be psrticularly important in the future for us to do these on our pre-employment examinations. Accuracy, speed, and simplicity will all be required. Also, I would like to ask you to review, if you can, any possible prior exposure of employees in your plant to asbestos, whether or not it is being handled in your plant now, with a breakdown of exposure among our employees versus those of outside contractors, and how it la being handled. If we can help, let me know. Dr. Pell and I would like for you to consider a possible blostatietical plan of evaluating prior and future exposures in a definite plan of study. After you have thought about these points, perhaps ve should all discuss them and arrive at e possible plan of approach. CD'A/smr RECEIVED JUL c y 1956 HASKELL. LAB.
