Four 1963 internal Union Carbide Chemicals Company letters about the semiannual industrial hygiene summary reports for the Brownsville, Texas plant. Two are requests from N. H. Ketcham for plant input (January and July 1963). Two are Brownsville replies (February and August 1963) reporting periodic audiometric hearing tests of employees in high-noise areas, and the February reply also lists radiation source information.
