Washington, D.C. 20036 Subject: Exhibits to be Placed on Record of the Hearings with Regard to Amendment of 29 CFR, Part 1910, March 14 through 17, 1972.______ Dear Mr. Goldberg: During my statement at the above captioned hearing,, I requested permission to submit for inclusion in the record: (a) a listing of products having a relatively low asbestos content and in which the asbestos fibers are firmly bound; and ' (b) a.sample of polyester plastic containing 0.5% of our thixotropic chrysotile asbestos product. Accordingly, I now submit, in duplicate, the attached list and under separate cover directed to Mr. Gerard F. Scannell, OSHA ' Office of Standards, the sample, in duplicate, of polyester plastic marked "UCC POLYESTER RESIN CONTAINING 0.5% RG-244 IN EVIDENCE 29 CFR, 1910, AS DESCRIBED IN TESTIMONY OF J.W. RAWLINGS". Once again, I state our strong conviction that the imposition special regulations, alarmist labels and general waste disposal UCC 011838 Mr. Arthur Goldberg 2 March 23, 1972 regulations to products containing firmly bound asbestos fibers will have a severe adverse economic impact on our asbestos business without furthering the objectives on which the exposure standards are based.
