Four internal Union Carbide Chemicals Company letters and memos from December 1963 to January 1964 about a proposal to hire an industrial hygienist for the Texas plants (Texas City, Seadrift, Brownsville). N. H. Ketcham's proposal cited noise exposure, hearing impairment and other hygiene problems. The Brownsville and Texas City managers replied that they saw little need for, or were not opposed to, a hygienist in the area.
