Publlo Health Gervioe Bureau of ntate Services NIH Bethesds 14, harylrnd Dear Doctor Peck: Thl* will acknowledge receipt of your latter of January 2, 1946, concerning a paper to be presented by you at the annual Meeting of th American Association of Industrial Physlelans and Surgeons In Chicago, providing, of course, that the seating la not cancelled as per Hr. Byrnes* request. X *111 keep you advised on this point, since a decision should be reached within the next week or ten days. X agree with you that the subject of '`Coi'aaon Industrial Dermatoses* is a broad one but that is what ye had in mind since the Industrial Hygienists are faceting with us cm Wednesday after noon, and possibly a presentation of six or sight of the most oomnon industrial dernatoses would serve to orient briefly the Hygien ists and Physicians with respect to these problems. It is realized that it would only be possible to give a snail amount of tine to rev eral phases of the subject, but we will be glad to l^-ava it up to your good Judgment if you wish to narrow the paper to two or three types of skin diseases. We did plan on asking Dr. Carey P. McCord to present a paper on "Gone New Phases of Industrial Dermatology" which, I be lieve, deals with fungus infections, eto. Tixnl would leave oil folliculitis, occupational aone, and so forth, for inclusion in your paper. Should the 1945 meeting be oanoellsd, we will, of course, discontinue at once further arrangements for the program. Should the meeting be held, however, I would be glad to get your reaction to the above thoughts nnd the title you have selected for your pnp*r. fours vary truly. N 24870 KKK-lFM cc - Dr. S. C.
