Curry (UK) as Secretary, Dr. Ian Holden (UK) as Treasurer and Dr. Fred Rieders (USA) as Newsletter Editor. The main pamphlet was altered in November 1963 by Rieders, and from the earliest starting point it bore the name "Announcement of the International Association of Forensic Toxicologists ". It was a 3-page A4 size blue soul copied handout which contained four case notes. The investigative strategies depended much on TLC, spectrophotometry and spot tests. The primary note was by L.W.
