(conoco Conoco Chemical* Company A Division of Conoco Inc. 15990 North Barker's Landing Road P.O. Box 19029 Houston, TX 77224 March 20, 1984 Mr. Stan Phillips JRB Associates 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA 22101 Dear Stan: I think some of the Board's concerns regarding the systems document are hard to answer, in particular the aspect of keeping the document updated. I would suggest that with the current systems list we have, we should send a request to the vendors to describe their systems. To avoid total commer cialism, this description could be specified along the lines of the work statement items. If we could tell the vendors our plans for distribution, then I would imagine they would willingly participate. As to funding for the project, perhaps we could get the Board to agree to funds for printing and distribution of a work product of this nature from the committee. Sincerely, II Thomas G, Grumbles, C.I.H. Director, Industrial Hygiene ajo VVV 000012429 QUESTIONNAIRE IHIRS COMMITTEE PARTICIPATION 1.
