Dear Josh:

In answer to your letter of May 20, I am sending you
under separate cover the following materials:

1.
2.

Air Pollution Hearings (1967) Parts I - IV.
Air Pollution Hearings (1968) Parts II and III.

Waste Management Research and Environmental
Quality Management (1968).

Automobile Steam Engine and Other External
Combustion Engines Hearings (1968).

Electric Vehicles and Other Alternatives to
to the Internal Combustion Engine (1967).

Eleven reports relating to automobile and other
aspects of air pollution.

A copy of P.L. 90-148, the Air Control Act of 1967.

Our latest copy on S. Res. 78, to establish a
Select Senate Committee on Technology and the

Human Environment.

10. Parts I and II of the report of the Panel on
Electrically Powered Vehicles, "The Automobile
and Air Pollution” distributed by the Depart-
ment of Commerce (1967).

ll. A copy of the remarks of Senator Muskie in the
New England Conference on Air Pollution in
December of 1968 at Colby College.

This should provide you with most of the factual
materials which the Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution and
our own Subcommittee have been able to develop in the field
of pollution during the past several years.

S. Res. 78 is presently being considered by the Subcom-
mittee and hopefully will be reported to the full Committee
for action within the next month.

I have shown your comments with respect to the emission
of nickel substances to Mr. Richard Grundy of the Subcommittee
on Air and Water Pollution staff, and he indicates that he is
developing further information in this area and that he feels
this is an important problem. You may wish to communicate
directly with him if you develop anything new, or if you wish
any further information relating to the auto exhaust problem.

As always, if I can be of any further assistance, please
let me know; and I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed
your two articles, the piece on nickel and the one with respect
to chlorine. Unfortunately, they came too late to be included
in our record of the hearings.

I hope you will find an opportunity to mention the work
we have been doing in promoting the idea of a Select Committee
in Technology and the Human Environment, because this is
becoming a timely subject of discussion here on the Hill.

With best regards,

LA

E. Winslow Turner
General Counsel
