General Decker presented a report of developments in the Asso ciation's program of projects and activities since the last meeting, copy ap pended to these Minutes as Exhibit B. General Decker further reported that, m response to his letter of ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................. I CMA 068838 1150 -4- by the U. S. of border taxes on imports, a rebate on exports, and a temporary surcharge on imports, he had received 22 responses to date expressing diver gent and almost evenly divided views. Following discussion by the Executive Committee at its meeting earlier in the day, it had been agreed that the matter would be referred to the Ad Hoc Committee on Balance of Payments for develop ment of a unified Association position, if possible. General Decker also reported that during the recent MCA testimony on the proposed Occupational Health and Safety Act, Congressman William D. Ford of Michigan had requested that MCA supply answers to two questions for the record: Would enactment of Federal safety standards have an effect on the product liability of a producer? Would it increase the liability of an employer insofar as injuries to workers is concerned? General Decker requested any member company which has made a study of either or both of these matters to make a copy of their study available to the MCA staff for assistance in providing answers to Congressman Ford's questions. Mr. Logan reported that the Executive Committee has recommended the Appointment of a Policy Study Committee of the Board of Directors to conduct a study of the Association's objectives, organization, staffing, and procedures similar to the study conducted by the McCurdy Committee in 1962. The prospec tive chairman of the study committee has the matter under consideration and, upon completion of his preliminary survey, the committee will be appointed and begin its work. VIII. REPORT ON WEST COAST CIC ACTIVITIES. Chairman John J. Morrisroe of the Chemical Industry Council of Southern California presented a report of CIC activity on the West Coast in four parts, one for each West Coast Council. He urged that the proposal regarding MCA financial support for the CICs and the other recommendations contained in : the report be considered by the Board of Directors and the prospective Policy j Study Committee. Copies of the report, appended to these Minutes as Exhibit C, } were provided those present. Chairman Logan commended Mr. Morrisroe for his interesting and thoughtful report and stated that it would be studied by the Executive Committee and possibly referred to the Policy Study Committee for its recommendations.

The STR apparently fears that these hearings will provide a platform for protectionist forces which will be undesirable in view of the situation on Capitol Hill as well as in trading circles abroad. Consequently it appears that the hearings will be drawn out over a period of months rather than concentrated in a two- or three-week period as originally planned. The MCA International Trade Committee is meeting this week to finalize a statement. E.E.C. countries and others have indicated to United States represen tatives that elimination of the American Selling Price is a prerequisite for any trade concessions that they might make. On February 21 I furnished each member of the Board of Directors a copy of a position paper prepared by the Ad Hoc Committee on Balance of Pay ments suggesting certain changes in the Department of Commerce Regulations for the Foreign District Investment Control Program. Several constructive suggestions were received which have been incorporated in the paper. The paper has also been revised to take into account changes in Department of Com merce Regulations. A meeting of members of the Ad Hoc Committee with repre sentatives of the Department to discuss MCA's proposal is being arranged, hope fully for sometime this week. sjc 3js The pollution survey is in the preparatory stage for data tabulation. Several new corporate returns, and a score or more of plant returns were re ceived during February; other returns can still be included if received promptly. m m 'I' ^ ^ ^ m m A contract with A. D. Little, Inc. , for a follow-up program on research on odor threshold and measurement techniques was signed in February. This project is included in the 1967-68 MCA budget and is funded in the amount of $25,000. 5*C Sfc The Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations Board has caled a public hearing on March 19 to discuss its proposed Rules of Procedure. Some modifications to the originally proposed rules have been made but no consideration has been given to revising the appeal procedure. MCA and others strongly recommend a change in the proposed appeal procedure and will reiterate these views at the public hearing. On February 27, the same Board issued a proposal to amend the defi nition of a flammable liquid. Responses to my letters of January 24 and July ^ CMA 068844 3 1967, on this subject indicate that the majority of MCA members oppose any change in the present definition. Our comments are due in DOT before May 1. Member companies have been asked to send any additional comments or rec ommendations to MCA no later than April 1. The MCA position regarding an incentive basis for general rail freight increases has been discussed with 17 of the 18 selected railroads. While our views were received courteously, there is no indication that they will be given favorable consideration. We understand that the railroads will soon file for a new general increase of approximately 5 percent. On February 27, MCA filed with the ICC a Protest and Petition for Suspension of the proposal amending the hopper car loading rules, filed by the Southern Freight Tariff Bureau to be effective March 10, 1968. This is consis tent with protests previously submitted by MCA at the Freight Bureau level. On February 9, the Association recommended the specific exclusion of food chemical plants from the proposed FDA regulations covering Good Manu facturing Practice in the manufacture of foods. We also urged the creation of an Industry-Government Advisory Committee to deal with regulations applying to indirect food additives. On February 28, the Association, in a statement to the Panel on Carcin ogenicity of the FDA Advisory Committee, recommended against routinelyrequired tests for carcinogenicity beyond those currently required for the evalu ation of the safety of food and cosmetic additives. The Occupational Health Committee held a successful symposium in Philadelphia on February 20 with 110 medical officers, nurses, industrial hygienists, and safety personnel in attendance. The next workshop on water pollution control has been scheduled for April 29, at the Dearborn Inn, Dearborn, Michigan. This, the 28th such work shop, is being co-sponsored by the Midwest and Michigan CICs and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The area of coverage will be the western Great Lakes, and invitational letters will soon be sent to MCA member company plant mana gers in that area. =|t # $ & J|t lit jjS # In preparation for the 1968 Chemical Progress Week, April 21-27, a packet of materials has been distributed to the Association's community rela tions contacts and CIC members. Of the packet items, the most popular seems to be a 12-page booklet, "Everyday Facts About Poison Prevention. " The CMA 068845 4 Association is one of the co-sponsors, with the U. S. Public Health Service, 0f Poison Prevention Week each March, CIC events scheduled in connection with Chemical Progress Week inclmj the annual scholarship luncheon in Chicago; the fourth annual seminar for teachers in Baltimore; presentation of high school teacher awards in Los Angeles and in Philadelphia: an industry dinner in St. Louis; a luncheon in San Francisco; a dinner for members of the Delaware State Legislature in Dover; Chemical Caravans for outstanding students in New York City, Cleveland and Cincinnati; a "Frontiers of Science" Day in Holland, Michigan; and plant tours for state legis lators in three Michigan localities, concluding in Lansing with a dinner at which Carl Gerstacker of Dow will be the principal speaker. John Logan of Universal Oil Products will address the groups in St. Louis and in San Francisco. ijc Sjc On April 3 and 4, New York State CIC will conduct a workshop onin-plan[ pollution control for chemical industry plant management. One item of immediate past interest was a successful evening in Trenton, where New Jersey CIC met with members of the State Legislature. **.11*# '',U<1 k1* y* kt sO knl/' tkO* A 1967 Yearbook has been prepared on Chemical Industry Council acti vities. Copies will be sent to you and to other executives of member companies. I think you will find the range and quality of activities most encouraging. ?jc D|C On February 29, the chemical industry participated in the background press briefing on air pollution control sponsored by the Air Pollution Control Association. Jerome Wilkenfeld of Hooker Chemical was the industry repre sentative at the briefing and was of considerable assistance in the development of basic knowledge of air pollution control problems and solutions. His parti cipation helped materially in the success of the activity. Other industries participating were: Steel, coal, petroleum, real estate and electric utilities. More than 5, 000 copies of the "Chemistry in Action" books have been purchased by MCA member companies. Two additional volumes will be pub lished this year and new contracts will shortly be awarded to four more authorsThis assures the publication of at least ten books in the series. CMA 068846 5 As in past years, MCA will present an exhibit of its aid-to-education materials at the 1968 annual meeting of the National Science Teachers Associa tion in Washington, March 29-April 2. Featured will be the "Chemistry in Action Series" and the new "Scientific Experiments in Environmental Pollution." % Sit j|c A # # ijc jJ; Hugh M, Robinson, formerly senior assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and head of one of the legislative divisions of the Department of the Navy, will join the MCA Government Relations staff on April 1. He is a graduate of the Naval Academy and has a law degree from George Wash ington University. CMA 068847 EXHIBIT C Report to the Board of Directors of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc. By John J. Morrisroe, Chairman Chemical Industry Council of Southern California March 13, 1968 gentlemen of the Board: The various types of activities engaged in by the four Chemical industry Councils on the West Coast are summarized in Attachment A. Detailed reports of each Council's activity are summarized in the other Attachments. The overall budgets of these Councils are modest when compared to the importance of the West Coast as a market place for chemicals and allied products, and the corresponding need for community projects designed to create a better public understanding of the chemical industry. The West Coast Chemical Industry lacks the geographic concentra tion of manufacturing facilities which is common to states such as Sew Jersey and Texas. As a result, managers are hard-pressed to take their own time--or to assign qualified personnel--to pursue CIC projects. Frequent personnel changes further complicate the problem. As recommended by the Ernest Hart Committee, three of the West Coast Councils retain public relations counsel. This imposes a dues structure which tends to hold down membership. And, fewer members limit the scope of activities.

Formed a special committee to work with the California Inspection sating Bureau in setting new standards for Workmen's Compensation rat s. Iftiis was the first revision in more than 20 years, and the committee *rovided liaison with the Bureau to assure that the chemical industry J0uld be offered realistic rates. cffljCATION and COMMUNITY RELATIONS Obtained Glenn T. Seaborg as the featured speaker for its first public meeting in April 1965. Media coverage was excellent. James Q. DuPont was the featured speaker at a CPW 1966 public meeting. Media coverage was extensive. Organized a speakers' bureau which is particularly active during Chemical Progress Week. In 1967, more than 30 talks were presented to student and service groups. Provides media with editorials and feature stories in observance of Chemical Progress Week. Conducted three career seminars in 1967 for Bay Area highschool students. Initiated the MCA Highschool Teacher Award in 1967, which is now an annual project. Participated as the first industry-wide sponsor of the annual fund raising auction conducted by the Bay Area's educational television sta tion, KQED. $10,000 worth of chemically-related merchandise was donated by member companies to be auctioned off. This was instrumental in helping to raise $280,000 for the station's 1967 operations, and it revealed to a prime audience the importance of chemicals in producing many every-day products. Obtained Princeton Professor Hubert N. Alyea for demonstration lectures on chemistry education for students at the Universities of Stanford and California (1966). These proved to be extremely popular. CIC/Northern California is in the process of providing "personal service" to all highschools in the Bay Area by assigning an individual member to each school as its "chemical counselor". By volunteering to serve the school in the community where he lives--or where he is known to school officials--the CIC member has a vested interest in that school's problems and objectives. In turn, educators know who to call upon to obtain speakers, to schedule demonstrations, and to seek career counsel ing. Some 65 schools now have this personal service. The goal is 150. CMA 068852 RECOMMENDATIONS That Chemical Progress Week be held at another time because it con* flicts with annual meetings of CIC member companies. That the head of each MCA Committee meet once each year with the chairman of each corresponding CIC Committee to improve national coordination. pas pre Chairman;- EASTERN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Attachment D C, Parkes Matzinger (Mountain Copper) dir the Organized 1953 EDUCATION Throughout its existence, this CIC has helped to organize science fairs, provide judges for them, and make awards to winners in individual schools When the MCA Highschool Chemistry Teacher Award was made available nationwide, CIC/Eastern Costra Costa County was among the first to accept. And, they conceived the idea of making an additional award to a Junior Highschool Science Teacher. Now, it makes both awards annually, by appropriating its own $200 for the Junior Highschool winner. Recently, a new dimension has been added to its educational efforts --the Science Symposium. Cosponsored with local educators, it offers students an opportunity to prepare papers on scientific subjects of their own choosing. These are presented as talks before five or six concurrent panel sessions presided over by members of the chemical industry, teachers, counselors, college professors, and parents. Detailed discussions on each paper ensue, to prod the student's reasoning and imagination. No winners are chosen. Instead, every participating student receives an ''honor*' pin, is a guest at an evening banquet, and receives a year's sub scription to Scientific American. CIC members provide the pins and are hosts at the dinner, but the fresh approach is this: the school system pays teachers overtime to help the students prepare their papers, and the teachers donate the money to pay for the magazine subscriptions. Working in concert with CIC/Northern Californis, this CIC has also assigned a member of industry to each highschool in the area as its "chemical counselor".

Staples (Pennsalt) esent Chairman:- John Main (DuPont) Organized 1964 ORGANIZATION 1 Membership meetings are held to a minimum. Regional activities are directed by Chairmen appointed for the purpose. Liaison is provided by the CIC chairman and secretary. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH jjajor Problems One major problem is criticism of the chemical industry because of pollution created by users of chemicals (woodpulp, paper, metallurgical, plywood plants using adhesives, etc.) which, in turn, are the local chemical industry's customers'. Liaison has been established with appro priate groups to improve the situation. k Another major problem is that long range planning, in both States of ftshington and Oregon, emphasizes the preservation of aquatic and wild life; primitive and recreational areas. Interest is on residential sites Hut little, if any, attention is given to industrial expansion. Popula tion explosion predictions made for the Pacific Northwest imply that "industrial expansion will occur regardless." Thus, the attention of planners is devoted to matters other than industrial expansion. This is now beginning to seriously impede expansion of existing industries, as iell as introduction of new ones. Specific examples: (1) laymen's dissension over the location of in aluminum plant on tidewater sites which are claimed to be better suited to residential development, (2) opposition to the construction if an oil refinery in an industrial area because of the fear of increas ing air and water pollution, and (3) objections to the location of a deep later port shipping facility because the area is considered to be more lesirable for the conservation of fish, wild life, and primitive snvironment. CIC is alert to these long range planning programs, and is working 'ith various industrial and municipal organizations to try and arrive at orkable solutions. ir and Water Standards Major problems involve setting water standards for the Columbia liver and its tributaries, and for Puget Sound and its tributaries; air standards for the newly formed tri-county government regulatory group of fierce, King and Snohomish (Seattle, Tacoma and Everett) in various *tases of organization in the State of Oregon.

In 1967, the Chairman of the Air and Water Standards Committee attended approximately 30 meetings concerned with air and water poliu>. tion, proposed standards, and formation of government regulatory bodie This involved: working with state industrial groups for Washington and Oregon; Chamber of Commerce, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland; State govey ment bodies for the States ofWashington, Oregon and Idaho; and the new?' formed tri-county regulations group in the State of Washington. Many presentations were made on behalf of CIC/Pacific, Northwest. The most recent of these was on March 1, before the newly-formed Puget Sound Air Pollution Agency The committee chairman's travel expenses for 1967 for by CIC, were approximately $1500. $1200 has been budgeted for 1968** Workshops A successful Chemical Safety Workshop was held on April 21, 1967 the Pacific Science Center, Seattle. Some 170 registrants attended. at Favorable publicity was obtained. in W dPa Previously, CIC/PNW cosponsored an MCA Water Quality Workshop in Portland on December 10, 1965 EDUCATION Highschool Chemistry Teacher Award Successful programs have been conducted in both states for two years. In 1967--before 300 persons at the ACS regional meeting, Richland, Wash ington; in Oregon before several hundred members of business and industry at the Museum of Science and Industry annual banquet in Portland. Aid to ACS CIC/PNW contributed $50 to aid the American Chemical Society in its annual Linus Pauling Award, established by the Oregon and Puget Sound Sections of ACS, to scientists making outstanding achievements in chemistry Chemistry Magazine to High Schools A one year subscription was donated to the science department in each highschool in the State of Washington, starting April 1967. Many favor able comments were received from teachers, especially in remote areas where school budgets are lower. LOOKING AHEAD Environmental Health Air and water quality activities will be continued, with greater emphasis on air. A one-day MCA/CIC Workshop is planned for May 6 at the Benson Hotel. Portland, Oregon. Cooperation of the Portland Chamber of Commerce has beea obtained, and their air standards committee will be a working partner in arrangements.
