The Directors asked several questions concerning the booklet including such iteas as the disclaimer at the front of the booklet sad they questioned whether the disclaimer was strong enough. A Director had also criticised -the' - Appendix where the P125Z was listed as a source for information concerning items such as the OSBA regulations,--EPA regulation,--etc. There were some items la`the reat with which the Directors &d~%ot agree.*; At the Board mealing it van naked-- tf the Comnittee had reviewed this vorfc after.the Task Porca had completed "the - write-up. The Secretary Indicated-that the Task Perce did not submit it to the Connittee because of the lengthy time it had taken to get it Into the form shown. The Board of Directors then resolved to have this booklet suhclttad to the full__ Asbestos Study Committee for their recommendations. When the Committee has finished reviewing the booklet They -ware -to re-submit it to the Board of . v Directors.
