For years -- from 1926 to 1959 -- the maximum amount of TEL. for automobile gasolines was held at a level of three cubic centimoters a gallon -- or about 1/10 of an ounce to a 128-ounce gallon.

Immediately thereafter, the Surgeon General appointed a committee of experts to continue the study of leaded gasoline, and its investigation, field survey and findings were published in Public Health Bulletin No. 163, in 1926.

As to the significance of the alleged exposure to lead in a gasoline service station , the facts are as follows; (1) There has never been an authenticated case of lead intoxication in service station attendants in the United States (where the matter has been under observation and periodic investi gation since 1926).

A little later, Kehoe and Edgar expanded these experimental observations in to the field of commercial dietribution and use of leaded gasoline Ly undertaking study of the comparative lead exposure of unexpor.ed and exposed garage mechanics, drivers of cars, and filling station attendants.

Among these are radiation shielding from the X-ray room to atomic energy installations, insulating buildings against noises and vibrations, providing packaged power in the form of storage batteries, electric and communication cable shielding, soldering in modem electronic manufacturing, and as an additive to gasoline to give higher performance and greater economy of fuels for civilian and military use.

It is the major component in the bat teries that start our can and it is in the gasoline that ruins our can.

This understanding v;a|s to the effect that the questions and issues arising out of the distribution and; use of leaded gasoline would be investigated fully at the expense of the Corporation, with the full knowledge of' the Service in the matter of procedures, methods and results.
