Cat Product D*toprr>*rtt January 8, 1984 Subject: New Asbestos Removal Objectives As you know the Coe party has been working on removing asbestos frar product tatenals since 1980. Advanced Vehicle engineering end Technology has the responsibility of coordinating all product engineering o'fice implementation, including preper ation of specific objectives and progress reports. Objectives were published in a Car Prograr Direction Letter 8/18/61. In this original lette", objective stetments and completion dates were somewhat general reflecting the then unknown technical problems and costs of substitu tion. The direction now is that for the friction product category a definite Corporate IOCS asbestos removal date is desired. To notify the engineering offices of this change we intend to issue a new Direction letter, draft attached. Would you please concur in the completion d.a.tes. show:, in Table, lot the Prograr. letter that are your responsibility, #tid_j>dvise of exceptions or Qualifications jrrw require. Note that the friction products" category now explicitly includes ell uses, i.e., all clutches, brakes, etc. supplied both as loose parts to bc'Tssembled at a Ford Icoation and as part of purchased assemblies.
