LEAD INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION, INC. 292 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK. N. Y. 100t7 TELEPHONE -- AREA CODE 212 OR R-E02O March 29, 1967 Subject: Lead Industries Association Board Expansion To Board of Directors of Lead Industries Association, Inc.: This is a report on the letter ballot concerning the expansion of the LIA Board sent out under date of March 14. Negative ballots have now been received from both producers and consumers, not necessarily indicating their disagreement with the proposal to expand the Board, but rather to express their opinion that the matter should be fully discussed before decision at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Por this reason -- and with the concurrence of President John R. Englehorn -- action will be deferred -- the nominating committee for directors will again place 15 names in nomination and the subject will be on the agenda at the meeting in Chicago on Monday, April 17. Sincerely, l i a or b l a J. L. Kimberley Executive Vice President N 3671
