April 4, 1972 Mr. Marty G. Dale Administrative Assistant American Academy of Pediatrics 1801 Hinman Avenue Evanston, Illinois 60204 Dear Mr, Dale: ' Dr. Kehoe's secretary referred your letter to me for reply. I regret to inform you that Dr. Kehoe is critically ill and unable to reply to your letter himself. From the nature of his illness, it would appear unlikely that he would be able to attend the conference on Childhood Lead Poisoning, to which you so kindly invited him. If he were physically able to do so, I'm sure he would be interested in participating in the conference, but I do not believe that this will be possible. On Dr, Kehoe*s behalf I would like to thank you for this invitation. Very sincerely yours, RRS:db Raymond R, Suskind, M.D. Director i * ? P R E S ID E N T JA Y M.
