Letters Sent to District Internal Security Officer, April 13, 1943

April 13, 1943 War Dept., AAF Materiel Center, Eastern Procurement Dist., 90 Church St., New York City Attn: District Internal Security Officer Gentlemen: For a number of years medical officers of the Navy have been trained from time to time at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia Univer- sity, in matters pertaining to industrial hygiene. As most of these medical officers are eventually assigned to bases where radioactive self-luminous compound is used for repair purposes, it has been the practice to bring the group to our plant to observe operations as we conduct thom. This is because our equipment and general practice is considered more or less as the standard from the safety standpoint. We have just received a request from Dr. Frederick B. Flinn who is training the group and who also happens to be our advisor on health matters to visit our plant with the group on May 3rd at 2:00 P.M. The time required will only be approximately one hour. The doctors will be escorted by officers of this Corporation and will be diverted from any units operating on confidentiel or clascified work. If there is no objection on your part to this visit, de would like to have official authorization in advance. The hames and ranks of the officers in the group are as follows: Lt. Simon L. Shick, MC-V(8), USNR. Lt. John J. Keating, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt. Horace F. Morey, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt. Andrew J. Oberlander, MC-V(s), USNR. Lt. Robert J. Quimby, MC-V (G), USNR. Lt. Joseph J. Sawicki, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt. Edward H. Wyman, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt. (jg) Manfred R. Couch, MC-V(a), USNR. Lt. Condr. Edward H. Taylor, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt. Comdr. Ernest D. Ponzer, MC-V(S), USNR. Lt.
