He was fearful mat publication at this time would create more interest in lead as a pollutant than is presently the case. The Ethyl Representatives also believed that . : was not the proper time to publish and distribute the "Facts Bulletin." They felt somewhat the same way as the du Pont representative in that it may/ serve somewhat as a catalyst in generating an undue amount of interest in lead.

Tne representatives of L.I.A. stated that there was need for such a statement and cited several instances where such a cocu.manc wcu_u oe usecu^. Mr. Drewes agreed that perhaps this is not the appropriate tine to publish and distribute widely the "Facts Bulletin" but seen a statement, if u-efui to the activities of L.I.A., should be aval! able . _ u 3 2T further discussion it was csnsrSiiy 6.citssc tlr.dc ti n s T T ! . scocl d have a statement such as the "F,cts Billetin" but that it should be used to handle specific inquiries or specific problems rather than to distribute it widely through cur present mailing list. Tne editing job on the present draft of tne "Facts Bulletin" must be carefully and comprehensively continued and completed. A modest number of copies are to be prepared in a simple form. It was also agreed that I.L.Z.R.O.'s research digest on "Environmental Health" is distributed to sponsors of the research and there was no objection to this procedure. L 1*01616 so D. M. Borcina
