J. Hoffman J. I. Walker P. A. Hawkins B. J. Murphy PROM J. CrTcCoe SUBJECT PLASTIC - PLASTIC GUN CEMENT Our Process personnel have been unsuccessful in their efforts to find a suitable replacement premised on function for asbestos fibers in Plastic and Plastic Gun Cements. Therefore, may I request you give consideration to the inclusion of a printed statement on Permanente Plastic - Plastic Gun Cements, and Cushenbury Plastic Gun Cement bags to the effect that "this cement contains a small percentage of asbestos fibers" or some such wording with that intent? There is so much current and increasing pub licity and articles in Trade Journals concerning the relationship of asbestos to lung cancer that trade personnel are becoming very much aware of this matter. Our legal staff could ascertain our possible legal lia bility and the need for such a wording on the cement bags designated. y X <5 "V n ^ / ' s X v - toJX* cX PMCW A_ <St^s?cA FORM 130 - ' i v R 'i u ' 7.. u
