Dear Dr. Cole:
I appreciate receiving your letter of June 8, about the Sayre-Wilson rapid lead test being apparently useful as a screening test "as long as it is used for this purpose."
However, this still leaves undefined any efferts of deficiencies in usefulness of the test for certain paints, such as lead chromate types. Would any lack of response to such lead constituents lead to a false assumption and sense of security about the entire absence of lead, so that danger from certain paints would be ignored? Is it possible that these paints are so rare that this is not likely to happen?
Sincerely yours,
Dr. A. C. Titus Volunteer Request Coordinator
