Internal Union Carbide correspondence from January 1984 about a white powdery material found oozing from the floor of the field toilet in the construction shop area at the Institute plant. An R/D memo reported an IR spectrum matching sodium carbonate, and Patel's cover memo to Mills identified the material as sodium carbonate and said cleaning and patching were all that was required. The attached pages are IR spectrum charts.
