Dear Mr. Simpson: . I have read the letter of January 10th from Mr. J. P. McMahon, of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, -which you sent to me. .. You -will note in a postscript on this letter that Mr. McMahon refers to the authorization he has received from the Asbestos Textile Institute for a preliminarysurvey of the industry to be undertaken by the Foundation. . The Asbestos Textile Institute Committee on air hygiene has been planning a cooperative program for the improvement in the air hygiene (dust control) in asbestos plants. In order to avoid the possibility of the Committee getting into deep water on this subject, I suggested to Mr, Luttenberger, who is a member of the ' Committee, that the matter be taken up with Mr, McMahon. Mr. McMahon, after giving the matter further consideration,agreed to have a preliminary survey made, which would be the basis for a decision by the Foundation in respect to taking on this assign ment. .. If the Foundation act favorably on this matter, they -will then give the Asbestoslextile Institute an estimate of the cost and it v/ill be necessary to decide to what extent they can obtain the financial assistance of the various members of the Institute. I am returning Mr. McMahon's letter of January 10th herewith. Yours very mrs. end 0 0301 -vi ' :m af,a- AIL PKlCtf Sl/JC<T tO CMAtt.GC*** WCS^CCT Of PUTiC*.
