Thank you for your memo dated January 30th.
At the
time that Jensen in Sweden first published his assert ions about the presence of Aroclor in wild life we met
IS
with him and discussed his work.
As a result of these
discussions he admitted that possibly some of his conclus
ions regarding the hazards associated with the chlorinated
biphenyl that he had found were publicized out of proport
ion.
I don't think at that time_we questioned that he
had in actual fact found chlorinated biphenyl in the sea
eagles' livers but questioned his incorrect quotation of
certain medical information.
Since he had appreciated
this point we then let the matter rest, not wanting to
stir up further agitation in other countries.
There has
been little more happening in Europe until about a month
ago, when an article appeared in a Danish newspaper discuss
ing Jensen's work.
We are trying to find out at the
present time whether this covers new work or whether it is
merely a re-hash of his original paper.
At such time as
we get any further data we shall certainly let you have
this.
