Kehoe, M.D. University of Cincinnati Kettering Laboratory Eden and Bethesda Avenues Cincinnati, Ohio 4-5219 Dear Dr. Kehoe: We are especially happy to receive a copy of Dr. Fitzhugh's acknowledgment of your research report. The fact that ''there were no adverse comments" is reassuring. Dr. Fitzhugh's reference to a "color additive petition" refers to the fact that lead acetate is not at present on the approved list of color additives. On the basis of your research report we are now in a position to ask that the use of lead acetate be approved in hair coloring pro ducts of the type covered by the research report. However, our petition will be submitted to you for your approval and will confine itself to the facts as stated in your report. Dr. Fitzhugh's assumption that you were on a vacation is a tribute to the reputation of San Francisco. It would appear from your creative activity in San Francisco that the city was an inspiration. Hoping this finds you in good health and spirits, Sincerely yours, COMMITTEE OF THE PROGRESSIVE JG: js V
