Lead Industries Association, Inc. 292 Madison Avenue New York, N. Y. 10017 Telephone: (212) 679-6020 August 11, 1972 Mr. Ronald G. Stevens Executive Producer Long Island Film Studios Post Office Box P Brightwaters, New York 11718 Dear Ron: To recapitulate our conversation coneming the "Hidden Epidemic," we propose that the following changes be made in the film. In Paragraph 2 we propose that the second sentence read as follows: "from their food and from the air...but these are unimpor tant by comparison to the old lead based paint that can still be found in the old homes of our countryside... towns...and cities." Regarding Paragraph 6, we have screened the film and carefully followed the script and find that there is no playground sequence. It therefore seems illogical to make reference to playgrounds in the script for this part of the visual. We urge you to delete the segment of the visual from the point where the camera pans out the window to where the siren indicates an ambulance driver on an emergency run. Of course, this would delete Paragraph 6, which we find unacceptable. With these two minor changes I feel we would have a movie that could be promoted vigorously by our Association, and of course, we would, as agreed, pick up the $900.00 cost for making such changes. Please let us know at your earliest convenience what you decide. Sincerely, JFS:lm Jerome F. Smith Secretary & Manager ; iw / LIA-76264
