July 29, 3-959 Mr. Manfred Bowditch Director of Health and Safety Lead Industries Association 60 East 42nd Street Mew York 17, N.Y. Dear Manfred* Just a note to indicate that there will be some further delay in the submission of a proposal for experimental work on lead. Two factors have entered into my delay: (1) I have not had time to even consider the details, having had my nose firmly to the grindstone of other immediately urgent matters and dead lines, (2) Having thought about the matters at odd intervals, I have been unable to see how the work can be initiated soon, I hope to find a way, but I don*t want to make a proposal and start a lot of wheels turning, only to find that space and time will not permit me to carry the work through with reasonable promptness, I am off on a vacation Saturday morning and shall not return to Cincinnati until September 2nd, By that time the air may have cleared a bit, and I may have renewed my energies to the point of being able to overcome the present obstacles. This has been a tough year, and its toughness appears to be running over into the next. But we shall see what can be done after September first. Sincerely, RAKiSS Robert A, Kehoe, M, D,
