![["The document consists of a series of letters and responses between Glenn English, a member of Congress, and various individuals and organizations regarding proposed OSHA regulations for grain handling facilities. The documents express concerns and objections to the proposed regulations and request careful consideration from OSHA officials. OSHA responds by assuring that the final standard will minimize economic impact on grain handling facilities while enhancing safety and health for employees."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Farmers Union President Opposes OSHA Regulations on Grain Elevators")
![["A letter from WB Johnston Grain Company's Chairman of the Board, Lew Meibergen, addressed to United States House Representative Glenn English, expressing concerns about the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulation classifying wheat, oats, and barley dust as hazardous materials. Meibergen believes the regulation goes too far, will be costly to comply with, and requests Congress to readdress the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201987-1991/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_15_0001_thumbnail.jpg "OSHA Regulations and Safety Guidelines for Retired Federal and Military Employees - 1987 Update")
![["John C. Pearson, President of Guthrie Cotton Oil Company, is writing a letter to John A. Pendergrass of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, expressing strong objection to the agency's attempt to limit the public comment period to 30 days on a significant new regulation regarding air contaminants. Pearson argues that the rulemaking is of great importance and complexity, and therefore deserves a longer comment period for affected industries to analyze and prepare their comments. He requests an additional 60-day extension in the comment period."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Extension of Comment Period on Air Contaminants Proposal")
![["Marty Pyron, the manager of Farmers Co-Op Association, wrote a letter to Honorable Glenn English expressing strong opposition to the proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oat, and barley dust. Pyron argued that there is inadequate scientific data to support this proposal, and it would be technically infeasible and costly for grain facilities to comply. He urged OSHA to delete the permissible exposure limit for these dusts in its proposal. English responded, stating that he shared Pyron's concerns and had made his reservations known to OSHA. He assured Pyron that he would keep his thoughts in mind should the House of Representatives vote on the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposal on Grain Dust Exposure")
![["The document is a formal opposition to the proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to establish a 4 milligram per cubic meter exposure level for wheat, oats, and barley dust. The writer, Richard Humphreys, operates a cooperative owned country elevator in Pond Creek, Oklahoma, and argues that OSHA has not provided enough research to support this exposure level. He believes that compliance with this level would be technically infeasible and costly for grain facilities, ultimately impacting American farmers and food consumers. Humphreys urges OSHA to delete the proposed exposure limit."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201987-1988/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_17_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposed Wheat, Oat, and Barley Dust Exposure Limit")
