Dear Loren: 



In resDonsa to our taleonone conversation yesterday, I am enclosing some 1n- 

 house U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports pertaining to contaminant ' 

 biomonitoring at National Wildlife Refuges in Montana. The reports -nainly 

 focus on contaminant residues aetactad in various biological samples collected 

 at the refuges. I am very interested in expanding the scope of our studies to 

 include other bioassessment techniques to evaluate the status and trends of 

 wetland habitat quality at our refuges. I founa your ideas to oe very 

 enlightening, and hope that we can continue to exc.nange information in the 

 future. 



If I can be of further assistance, please give Tie a call at ■i-i9-522S. 



Sincerely, 



A
