. ;I f ind no record that we have advised Aroclor for use in silo paints. I certainly hope we have not. !Jov/~ ever, I know it is in there and certainly when it was
put in there nobody had any idea it would get out into' the silage and proceed from there to the cow to the milk.
We have discontinued all plasticizer uses of Aroclor and
that should take care of the silo usage. Whether a letter
should be sent tc all the silo paint manufacturers may
or may not be feasible. It certainly is something that
should be looked into.
..
Thanks for your interest in the natter. We have, of
course, been dealing with the Ohio authorities, as v/ell
as some of the silo paint manufacturers.

bcci V7. B. Panageorge - Bill,' have we ever taken any positive
steps to be sure people aren't still painting silos with paint
that has Aroclor as a component?
