Re: Rocketdyne Worker Health Study
I can find the article citations by the authors
(Morganstern and Ritz), but letters to the editors or
similar peer review type materials didn't come up in
PubMed when I typed "Rocketdyne" as the search term.
The below page mentions a few flaws of the studies
i.e. small sample size:

I haven't read the studies - just passing along the
titles -
