May 12, 1971 J. F. Cole, Sc.D., Manager Environmental Health International Lead Zinc Research Organization, Inc. 292 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10017 Dear Jerry: I am most grateful for your letter of May 10. You have brought me up-to-date on the ceramic problem, and I am content to wait until the matter develops further. When you think that I might be of help to you in the matter, let me know, and I shall respond as fully as I can at that time. The matter of a proper standard for the industry - one that will stay put - is of considerable Importance to them, and also, I believe, to the public which they serve. I am not just sure of the position and attitude of the FDA group, which seems to me to change, somewhat, without good reason from time to time. However, I have been able to get along with them on other matters, and I would hope to be of some help to you on this. As for the pottery people, I could not blame them for being somewhat less than enthusiastic about my views, but I have not encountered any hard feelings among them, thus far. Sincerely yours, RAK: wb Robert A. Kehoe, M.D. Professor Emeritus of Occupational Medicine 0004808
