' - Dear Art: The accompanying summary, "The Role of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Electrical Equipment" lias been designed as a companion piece to the report sent earlier to the Office of Science and Technology, and will be integrated with a revised version of that report as an executive summary. We also contemplate making use of the summary as a hand-out for customers who are disturbed about the reports on PCB they have been seeing in the press. We have attempted to be responsive to your suggestion to Jack McAllister that we highlight the benefits in lay language, while also giving enough background and discussion of risk to maintain credibility with the scientific community. Please let us know if you have any additional suggestions for improving communication in this area. Very truly yours. Produdl/ Environmental Compatibility JSN:cv Att. DSW 182778 STLCOPCB4050882
