Jach, during your vacation vs have been notified of a signifleant PCS ccntAmination of chichen feed at several chichen fare: locations. Upon your return you should review this in seme: detail with Den Roach. It appears- that the source of the PC3 contamination is a company by the nano of East Coact Terminal ia I'ilnington, Forth Carolina, a fish mill processor. Since '-lay of thin year, this company has purchased 9 drums of Thomino! FS. fluid. Addi tional quantities rare purchased by them in August and December of 1970. To date, we have not been able to establish that East. Coast Terminal ever received a letter notifyins them of potential hazards in'dealing *. iih F?. _ fluid. To prevent this type of thin" from happening again in the future, * several procedures need be established.
First, I want the product group to review ell PR sales in 1971 year-.to-date.
Every company that has purchased must be identified as having received a copy
of the earlier ?C3 notification letter. Any deviations from that must now be
covered by a new letter. Further, we must identify the product use for each
customer who has purchased in 1971. In those cases where we are unclear on
the intended use, the customers must be contacted immediately by telephone to
identify the use. Any customers who are new using the Fit fluid for feed pro
cessing (for humans cr for animals) will be notified that the material will
no longer be made available for those applications. Any exception to this will
be cleared by Fapageorge and me.
'
Secondly, cn future orders of FR fluids, I want a procedure to ba established
between the product group and CO? whereby no shipments of FR fluids are made
until someone In the product group has specifically approved the easterner as
haying been notified of the PCD problem and as having a hr.cvn and approved use
for the fluid. A record will be !:ept in the product group listing the customer.
Intended use, confirmation that customer has been notified of 1-C3 problem, date
of approval for shipment release by product group, and product group member
approving release.

I would liha a report frea you as scon as you have completed the customer yearto-date analysis, hopefully no later than August 1. August 1 should also be th`e target date for an acceptable procedure on new customers with COP.
