As most of these medical officers\nare eventually assigned to bases where radioactive self-luminous compound is used for\nrepair purposes, it has been the practice to bring the group to our plant to observe\noperations as we conduct thom. This is because our equipment and general practice\nis considered more or less as the standard from the safety standpoint.\nWe have just received a request from Dr. Frederick B. Flinn\nwho is training the group and who also happens to be our advisor on health matters to\nvisit our plant with the group on May 3rd at 2:00 P.M. The time required will only be\napproximately one hour. The doctors will be escorted by officers of this Corporation\nand will be diverted from any units operating on confidentiel or clascified work. If\nthere is no objection on your part to this visit, de would like to have official\nauthorization in advance.\nThe hames and ranks of the officers in the group are as follows:\nLt. Simon L. Shick, MC-V(8), USNR.\nLt. John J. Keating, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt. Horace F. Morey, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt. Andrew J. Oberlander, MC-V(s), USNR.\nLt. Robert J. Quimby, MC-V (G), USNR.\nLt. Joseph J. Sawicki, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt. Edward H. Wyman, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt. (jg) Manfred R. Couch, MC-V(a), USNR.\nLt. Condr. Edward H. Taylor, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt. Comdr. Ernest D. Ponzer, MC-V(S), USNR.\nLt.
