SUBJECT:

Request for Data on Indirect Food Additives

Gentlemen:
At the January 25 meeting, the FDCC Committee heard Dr. Robert
Miller's presentation covering Dr. J. P. Frawley's proposal regarding
Indirect Food Additives.
Because of the potential benefit to the chemical industry, it
was decided to request the secretary to obtain from MCA member
companies data that will help establish or disprove the validity *
of the proposal.
So I am enclosing a copy of Dr. Frawley's ACS paper which will
explain what data is required, and ask that you obtain it from the
appropriate sources within your company and send it in to me soon,
so that there will be an opportunity to summarize before the next
meeting of the committee on June 13.
It is most important to have your data, because the decision
about an MCA 3tand with respect to the proposal will rest largely
on it.
Sincerely yours

Morgan M. Hoover
