A one-page memo of February 1, 1951, from J. P. Woodard to A. S. Elsenbast, headed "Industrial Hygiene - Lompoc: (1) Saranac Program, (2) Aluminum Therapy." Woodard confirms that the Saranac Laboratory had been told to go ahead with its program as modified, and writes that aluminum therapy for the Lompoc workers should be started "only after all angles have been thoroughly considered" and a plan put in writing. "I think our main problem," he writes, "is just how it should be explained to the people and how it should be started, and this is the place I think we could have difficulty if all employees involved are not properly and wisely advised."

What it shows
Woodard suggests that Elsenbast's coming trip to Lompoc be used to put in writing "just how this program should be undertaken, what should be said or written to them, by whom, how, etc." Copies went to A. R. Fisher, Dr. A. J. Lanza and H. M. Jackson. The memo follows Elsenbast's January letter to Westmont on the same program.
In Johns-Manville's chronology
Johns-Manville's own chronology of what the company knew describes this document as follows:
Woodard in a memorandum to Elsenbast, 2/1/51, regarding an aluminum therapy program at Lompoc states that "our main problem is just how it should be explained to the people and how it should be started, and this is the place I think we could have difficulty if all employees involved are not properly and wisely advised."
