DANA. INTRArCOMPANY COMMUNICATION subject Obsolete Asbestos Qjicago Stock TD Cus Franklin Chuck McKanara Paul* Schaff date Jtmaxj 17. 1990' Attached ia ay letter of 11/17/89, to Sob Hlaaeyer on the. subject Better . along with e list which represents his reply. As yoa can sea, the number of aonths supply represented by these quantities ranges from a low of one aontb to a .high of 22 aonthsv My purpose la addressing this question to yon folks Is due .of recognition of the face that we need eo agree on a cut-off point on the intake of asbestos hearing product Into our Inventory. Z understand that Bernice Fuskaric is working on. a second list of obsolete asbestos -bearing product for our consideration and that Vletor-St. Xhonas Is preparing a similar list. We originally cat-off asbestos bearing Intake lest July, end Z ' hesitate' to extend it. We ere atlll purchasing asbestos bearing material froB. England, Germany and Mexico; however, that is. all packaged stock and it will be relatively easy to isolate the Inventories whan we do sake the change. The same is' cot- true of bulk stock, especially alaem-we have- ; already mads one cut-off. In August, 1992, ve must start labeling'gasket seta which contain asbestos with a notation that the specific set cannot ba sold after August, 1999. Gives the slow turn of our. packaged Inventory and the even slower turn of, and the difficulty in isolating ntr bulk Inventory, I do not think chat we should do this. Would you please pass Judgement on this and let me know how we should proceed. "la Attachments cc: John Barrla Terry Shively E. Mark VPD.188^031 DANA-0340.010
