A one-page form letter of December 7, 1945, from John F. McMahon, managing director of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America (formerly the Air Hygiene Foundation), to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, enclosing the statement for the company's 1946 membership. McMahon wrote that postwar plans must provide "for improving the physical working conditions under which the products are made," listed coming Foundation studies (medical departments, legal trends in industrial health, engineering control of solvent vapors and silica dust), and said industry's support of the Foundation showed leadership "in the face of the present 'world sweep to Stateism.'"
