William S. Farish president of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey stated in a prepared release that synthetic butyl rubber samples developed with I. G. Farbenindustrie were submitted to the U.S. government and private American firms in 1939 but deemed of doubtful quality.

He noted that in 1939 Standard brought the rubber issue to the Army and Navy Munitions Board and supplied samples to the government and private parties upon request.
