Dear Bob:
Following up on one of the most
important developments of our last Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Packaging Materials Committee
meeting, this is simply to let you and everyone
on the Committee know that we have now proceeded
as Mr. Tom Brown -of FDA recommended.
More specifically, with the help
of Einar Wulfsberg, we have now cleared the
appointment of a special three man committee
to negotiate with FDA on the so-called "Ramsey
proposal"; have thereby received approval for
this committee to be constituted of Einar, Jack
Frawley and me; and have set February 3 as the
date for our first meeting with the FDA staff.
This meeting will be taking place at 10:00 A.M.
in Mr. Brown's office.
We shall, of course, report to you
on our progress at this session as promptly as
possible.
In the meantime, we should perhaps
note here that those who were not present at our
full Committee session on January 13 should be
receiving the Minutes of that meeting in the next
ten days or two weeks so that they will have all
of the background necessary.
The Minutes have
been completely drafted but are being held up
very temporarily pending our receipt of one addi­
tional liaison report which I am certain we shall
have quite soon now.
