Please also be advised that I believe that the following chemical companies are members of the Chemical Abstract Society and received all of the enclosed materials in the 1930's, 1940's and 1 9 5 0 's or their respective subsidiaries and did absolutely nothing to warn anyone of the dangers of asbestos: 1. GAF Corporation 2. Foster Wheeler Corporation ,( 3. Owens Corning Corporation .f a i'/U P*** 4. Armstrong World Industries s; In fact, in 1938, the Chemical Abstract Society set up a special heading called "Asbestosis" because there were so many articles warning of the dangers of asbestos. I would appreciate if you could contact me after you review the materials. Very truly,yours, Richard P. 'Neuworth /' I ' i /
