" " Asbestos Usage ricm.m DiicmWiw ' *" ' Tho lotosl communication from Vehicle Material* Engineering assigns three areas of responsibility to Engine Engineering with completion dates of 5-15-77, 5-10-77, and 7-15-77 respectively. We do not knou who in Kngino Engineering committed to these dates and if anyone is answering the latest document or establishing Project Ordors. Coaploto DVS tosting requirements will prohibit the implementation of any nhort-lond aubct;tuticns and thereby negating tho 5-15 and 5-30 duo dates; however, the approval of development programs for long-lead substitution (with carline introduction turgoted) due 7-15-77 ctill noeds eroa of responsibility direction. Action Plant In order to accomplish this objoctive direction should be given to Materials Engineering and overy Product Engineer (including advanced concepts) to review tho requirements of oach application and recommend a substitution plan with testing roqulremontB. Tho Project Enginoors would then have to write Project Orders to implement this program. /Cffertivenor.si Wo do not believe thnt Engine is in a position to oceept this task without rovising the projocted dates. Modal Year 1980 would be the earliest dnte for at least pnrtinl model substitution. It should also be noted that tho list of components using nsbostos fibers submitted by uo to the Vehicle Materials Engineering Office is not nocessarily complete.
