A proposal dated September 21, 1950, from the Saranac Laboratory of the Trudeau Foundation, Saranac Lake, New York, submitted by its director Arthur J. Vorwald, to study whether inhaling asbestos dust causes primary lung cancer. It suggests reviewing X-rays and records of workers at Thetford and Asbestos, and proposes inhalation and intratracheal experiments in mice, costed at $16,000.00 for the first year and $10,000.00 for the second. Manuscripts would go to the sponsoring company for review and approval before publication. The copy is a plaintiff's exhibit.
