Te l e p h o n e , Ex e c u t iv e 8100 Ca b l e Ad d r e s s NARECQ. Washington, D. C. NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL 2101 CONSTITUTION AVENUE, WASHINGTON 25, D. C. Established in 1916 by the National Academy of Sciences under its Congressional Charter and organized with the cooperation of the National Scientific and Technical Societies of the United States DIVISION OF MEDICAL SCIENCES 23 October 1950 Dr, Robert A. Kehoe Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob, It was good to hear that you were back. Trust you had a successful trip. Many thanks for the covering letter on the DDT report, I dare say some action will be forthcoming on the report to the API, although as a committee they are likely to move slowly. It strikes me as a trifle odd that they do not have a full time coordinator for their toxicological work in view of its scope and distribution. Nothing has yet arisen to affect our understandings and relationships and I hope to see you before-too long to give you a fill-in on the present set-up, |ty responsibilities center largely around problems of mobilization and assignment of scientific per sonnel in which field we are moving ahead slowly. Our progress naturally is greatly affected by the status of the war and public attitude on mobilization. Please let me know if you come East before the Pittsburgh meeting which I presume you vail attend. N14027 Willard Machle Executive Officer
