Dear Harry,
.
.
*
R eferring to our telephone conversation on Friday,- I am enclosing h erew ith v a rio u s item s relating to the a s b e s to s problem .
The a rticle that appeared in C h em ical W eek in Septem ber 1966, entitled "A sbestos-A w aiting T rial", w as v e r y damaging. The A sb estos T extile Institute sent a delegation to M cG raw -H ill, the p u b lish ers, who subsequently adm itted that it w as a rather thoughtless article* written by an experienced reporter who evidently interview ed Dr. Selikof. The rebuttal to this a r t i c l e , su b m itted by M r. R oger Hackney, a Senior V ice P resid en t of J o h n s-M a n v ille, is I think a v ery reason ed and sensible resp on se to this type of publicity.
A lso e n clo sed is a m em orandum p ro d u ced by the Sales D irector of C ape/L ondon for general guidance of th ose involved in the sa le of C ap osite In su la tio n in the U. K.
F inally, you w ill find a m em orandum from the A sb esto sis R esearch
C ouncil in E ngland on precautions to be taken in the insulation
contracting industry. I believe this has b een w idely circulated in England.
As other in fo rm a tio n co m es to m y a tten tio n fro m tim e to tim e I w ill m ake a point of seeing that you get c o p ie s. M eanw hile, I gather you w ill be m eeting with Dr. L ew is C ra lley , and I b elieve you w ill find his approach to the problem v e r y rea so n a b le.
With v ery b e st reg a rd s.
REC ryor / jc end.
