PREVENT BLINDNESS, Texas Society to Prevent Blindness An Affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness 3211 West Dallas St., P 0 Box 13400, Houston, TX 77019 (713) 526-2559 March 9, 1982 Mr. Greg Escamilla Office Safety Comm. Monsanto Co. P.0. Box 1311 Texas City, TX 77590 Dear Greg: Attached are the news releases you ordered. The rest of the material will come directly from our National Society. Delivery time is usually three to' four weeks. We appreciate Monsanto's interest in off-the-job eye safety very much. The subject is of concern to us since some 42% of all eye injuries occur in a home environment. For this reason we'd like to do a little public education of the problem by publicizing in the local press what Monsanto is doing for its employees. Maybe tie it in with some sort of presentation ceremony when the publications arrive. Would that be all right with your Company? Sincerely, State Program Director MH:vb Enclosures SC 001421 LAM002621
