April 15 1977 Stanley 3. Gross, Ph.D. 9036 Jeffery Road Great Fall3, Virginia 22056 Dear Stan: I have gone over your statement with considerable care for the simple reason that I hoped ay editing would be of some benefit to you in getting your final expression of your work. Let me say of your statement that I think it rather good and to the point. There is only one thing in it, or rather not an it, which concerns me a bit at this particular time and for the specific purpose at issue. That iJoint, which should, I believe, have been stressed, since in uy viewpoint, it was the most striihgg issue wich has come to light. It is namely, the effect of the ingestion of lead as so strikingly more influential than the respiratory exposure. It is clear that if the incidental ingestion of lead is sufficient even though actually smaibdi, (or perhaps 1 should say, moderate instead of "small'"), no effect, at all, of the ordinary inhalation of lead, can be observed. This, then, especially in the case of infants and small children is the place where the preventive effort is principally needed. Again, however, let me repeat, your statement is generally good, and I believe it will serve the intended purpose. 3est regards, RAK:-js end Robert A. Kehoe, M .D . Kf f 0 0 0 0 420
