Memorandum to Mr. Viedt [H.B. Viedt], July 16, 1924

U.S.R.C. INTERIOR MEMORANDUM Date 7/16/24 Subject For Attention of Mr. Viedt. Answering Memo. of DRINKER'S REPORT. A letter received from Dr. Drinker yesterday reminds me to write you covering three points on this subject: (1) Attached is a copy of his letter which if it requires any comment is that the conclusions are incomplete and this part of the investigation apparently not over-thorough. (2) How soon will you have the statistical report covering attendance of all the operators who have ever worked for us, or at least those for whom we have records ? (3) I think we have arrived at a point where we should give out information very reluctantly. There apparently is nothing to the situation so far as we are concerned, so it is better to withhold statements, letters, reports, etc. since they might be misconstrued, particularly if they should fall into the hands of a certain class of people, who not being gainfully employed, think it useful to stir up sensations. Yours truly, - A. Roeder - AR/EM Enc.
