AIR MAIL May 24, 1974 Mr. Aloe Cress Cepe Asbestos Company, Ltd. 114 Park Street Lender! W1Y43AB England Dear Alec: The film has arrived and has already been shown at our headquarters here in Trumbull and at our Mnnhcin, Pennsylvania plant. It is now rrakinr the P.nybestos-Mnrhattnn circuit and, following that, 'rill be shov.T. to all AIA meiobcrs at our full .meeting in June. I am afraid that many Aricrican asbestos products manufacturers do not take asbestos dust control as seriously as manufacturers in the U.K. The film will be very helpful in emphasising the necessity for proper industrial hygiene practices. he have a deadline of July 1? for submission to the U. S. Department of Labor of final roenmendatiops for *hc revised asbestos standard. It now appears that changes in the standard 'till not be extensive. This repre sents a change in attitude on the part of Labor Department officials and resulted, at least in part, iron a couTt decision handed down on April 15 that upheld the validity of the present regulations. II.c '.'raver and I have just returned iron an American Industrial hygiene Conference in Miami. Thirteen papers on various aspects of tire asbestos health issue were nrcsentrd. Unfortunately, conics of tiro papers were r.ct available at the conference but ve will collect them from the individual authors and send them to you. For the present I have en closed a--copy of the abstracts as they appeared in the conference program. Thanks again for the film. Sincerely, (Signed) J. II. Marsh
