Senator Mar!ow Cook sent a letter on February 9
inviting Dr. Yerushalmy to react to criticisms of his w~rk
contained in the annual Surgeon GeneraA's reports. We have
now.received a copy of Dr. Yerusha!my's rep!y~.and, i think~
you will be extremely interested in his observations. I
particularly refer you to the comments commencing with the
last paragraph on page 4.
While you may have i!ready received it from some
other source, I also enclose a copy of a February i article
from Internal Medicine News on the AAAS program held in
Philadelphia during December o~ last year.
The work which Dr. Theodor Sterling has been doing
in connection with air pollution became unusually valuable
following the President's transmission on January 3! of an
air pollution message ho Congress,which you have received,
that attempted to implicate cigarette smoking, in 95% of
lung cancer and 90% of chronic obstructive lung disease.
Dr. Sterling has consulted with us in connection
with this message and has also, at Jack Mills request,
tended meetings in Washington. We would like for him to
have every opportunity to continue his wor~ in this area an~
he has recently submitted a request to us to help fund a

Dr. Sterling is requesting a grant to the ALEPH
Foundation, which will administer the funds. Copies of both

views by March i0.
I have just received, and also enclose, a copy of
Dr. Ster!ing's latest published article, "The Incidence of.
