Kuzmuk, Chairman Amatex Corporation - J. L. Rainey Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc. - M. Q. Scowcroft Southern Asbestos Company - E. C. Bratt Uniroyal, Inc. - E. A. Morris A. C. F. Finkbiner, III, Esq., Johns-Manville Corporation W. B. Alcorn, Jr., Esq., Legal Counsel D. M. Fagan, Executive Secretary, Asbestos Textile Institute MINUTES 1. The February 6, 1975, Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asbestos Textile Institute was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Chairman Kuzmuk. 2. Upon presentation, it was moved by Mr. Morris and seconded by Mr. Scowcroft to dispense with the reading of the Minutes of the last stated Meeting and to accept them as written. The motion was approved, unanimously. 3 In the absence of Treasurer Scanlan, the Executive Secretary reported on the following financial matters. a) IRS Form 990--Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax for Fiscal Year 1973/74 bad been prepared and mailed to the Internal Revenue Service on January 6, 1975 b) The Financial Report for the period September 1 through December 31* 1974, (attached hereto in its entirety) was reviewed. At the start of the period the Institute had a total cash balance on hand of $14,051.44. Following receipts of $28,691.18 (including over $19,000.00 for Test Manual sales and almost $9000.00 for the Litigation Defense Fund), and disbursements for general purposes of $^-5,332.21 (including $12,000.00 toward Test Manual printing costs) and payments covering litigation costs of $3,068.57, the actual cash balance on hand at December 31, 1974, totaled $24,341.84 ($10,164.78 for general purposes and $14,177*06 in the Litigation Defense Fund). Adding to this figure such items as Accounts Receivable and a nominal $1.00 value fer furniture and equipment, tl 3 total net worth of the Institute at calendar year-end was $30,001.74* Speaking strictly about the Institute's general expenses, $3,322.21 has thus far been expended against the budgeted figure for the year of $12,985.00. . . . The Secretary advised there had been a slight change in the method of keeping the books in that we are now charging to the Litigation Defense Fund those more..... PRODUCED JM - 83 MS 006424 MT-005829 Page 2 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 extraordinary office expenses that are being incurred because the Institute is involved in the Tyler litigation. These unusual costs are for items such as use of the telephone, postage, printing supplies, etc. c) Concerning the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd Edition, after all anticipated expenses are taken from known receipts, and subsequent to our repay ing the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association the $2100.00 it advanced us toward the printing bill, we will this year probably show a loss of some $2000.00. However, we have 136 extra copies which will be available for sale at a cost of $18.95 to non-members or $12.30 to members. When all of these copies "in stock" are sold (which could take a few years), the final picture should be somewhere between a maximum gain of $800.00 and a minimum loss of $50.00. ... At the request of the Secretary, it was moved by Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Morris, and so carried, that the Secretary has the approval of the ATI Board of Governors to refund the afore-mentioned $2100.00 to QAMA. d) Also reviewed was the financial status of the Litigation Defense Fund from its beginning on April 1, 1974, through February 5, 1975 The figures will show that after receipts from Special Assessments #1 and #2 on the Regular Members and from Voluntary Contributions received thus far from the Associate Members and following disbursements for legal fees and expenses, the cash balance on hand as of February 5, 1975, amounted to $17,260.53* (Secretary's Note: If you deduct the $248.40 for extraordinary office expenses as shown on page 1 of the Financial Report, the actual cash balance at February 5, 1975, was $17,012.13). e) As a final matter, invoices were mailed January 2, 1975, to member com panies for annual dues for the Year 1975* Out of an anticipated $13,125.00, T,he Institute has to date received $12,000.00. 4. Chairman Kuzmuk appealed to the Governors for someone to offer to house the remaining 136 copies of the Test Manual. Storage space at ATI Headquarters is nil and all the company involved would have to do would be to store the Manuals and ship them as orders are received. The ATI Secretary would supply mailing labels and would handle all necessary correspondence, invoicing, and so forth. Mr. Rainey will look into the matter and the Secretary will be in contact with him concerning how many cartons are involved, and the measurements of each carton. If it is not possible to house the Manuals at Amatex Corporation, Chairman Kuzmuk will see if they can be stored at Garlock Inc. 5. Chairman Kuzmuk advised there already is a correction in the offing to the Test Manual in that the figures on pages D-7/9, D-7/10 and D-7/ll concerned with the "freeness filter" are incorrect. New pages will be issued in due time either by QAMA or ATI. In the meantime it is recommended that the dimen sions given should not be used. It is not known at this time what costs will be incurred to print the revisions, or who will underwrite the costs, although this matter will more than likely have to be discussed at a later date. 6. Chairman Kuzmuk informed the Governors that Nicolet Industries, Inc., had tendered its resignation from the ATI, effective December 31, 1974 -- a move chat was considered appropriate by Guy George Gabrielson, Jr., President of Nicolet, since the company has discontinued all asbestos textile manufacturing and marketing activities. Mr. Gabrielson did advise, however, via letter of January 7, 1975, that Nicolet "intended, subject to further consideration at PRODL" "D JM - S3 MS 006425 MT-005830 Page 3 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 any time, to continue its financial support of the Texas lawsuits (Yandle and Kay) at the same level of contributions as would apply if it were to remain members of the Institute." The resignation was unanimously accepted, with regret, by all Members of the ATI Board of Governors. 7. As reported by Chairman Kuzrnuk, the 1975 Membership Directory of the Insti tute will be issued shortly, as soon as all returns are in from the members concerning company representation, addresses, telephone numbers, etc. Attorney Alcorn counseled it should not pose any problems to again include the personal section at the back of the Directory. The Governors agreed that this section should continue to be a part of the printed roster. 8. The Chairman read a letter from Milton Q. Scowcroft, immediate past Chair man and President expressing appreciation for the Atmos clock presented to him at the 1974 Annual Meeting. Mr. Scowcroft acknowledged the importance of the contributions made by each member during his tenure toward keeping a contin uity in ATI activities. He further expressed the hope that the Institute is successful in maintaining the organization in some form as there is work still to be done in the small but vital asbestos textile industry. 9. Chairman Kuzrnuk advised that on behalf of the Institute, he would be pre senting an engraved, walnut plaque to Paul 0. Nicodemus at the General Meeting the next day in appreciation of his many years of service and contributions to the asbestos textile industry. Mr. Scowcroft recalled that Mr. Nicodemus had written the most authoritative paper ever published on asbestos and magnetite. 10. It was reported by the Chairman that V/. B. Mitchell would be attending meetings of ANSI Committee L-18 on Protective Occupational Clothing, represen tative of both ASTM and ATI. The next meeting of the group has been rescheduled for March 20, 1975, in Washington, D. C. 11. Concerning future revisions of the "Proposed Standardization Program Analysis for FSC 2530--Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel and Tract Compon ents," the Governors were advised that since FSC 2530 does not fall within the realm of ATI matters, the Institute has advised the Defense Supply Agency that 111 references to the ATI as co-sponsor should be withdrawn. 12. COMMITTEE REPORTS & DISCUSSION: a) Technical -- report by committee member W. Maaskant, Amatex Corporation -- The Committee will discuss the results of interlaboratory tests concerning ASTM Specification D628--Asbestos Tubular Sleeving; hopes to have the results of the reruns on the Round Robin tests concerning ASTM D1061--Asbestos Lap; and will have general discussions on ASTM D1571--Woven Asbestos Cloth and on ASTM D315---Woven Asbestos Tape. b) Fiber Research and Testing, Technical Subcommittee -- no report was presented although it was realized by the Governors that this activity is in search of meaningful projects and that more will be learned when such pro grams are established or proposed. MS 006426 PRODUCED JM - S3 MT-005831 Page 4 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 c) Environmental -- report by Chairman L. E. Moody, Southern Asbestos Company -- The Committee will make a complete review of OSHA Standard 1910-93a, item by item, in an effort to help interpret its content. It is felt that OSHA inspectors will probably interpret the paragraphs differently than will the industry. Also, the group will continue what had been started at the last meeting and that is to discuss consistency of application of safety practices at all asbestos textile plants during OSHA inspections. For purposes of infor mation, Attorney Alcorn requested that the Environmental Committee, if possible, alert him to any adjudications handed down by OSHA with respect to violation of the OSHA Asbestos Standard. 12. FUTURE ATI MEETING SITES AND DATES: Chairman Kuzmuk referred to a past decision of the Board of Governors to cancel the previously-selected sites for the 1975 and 1976 Annual Meetings, a decision that was made since it appeared there was a need to save money. The Chairman felt, however, that perhaps the money would be well spent toward keeping the solidarity that the Institute currently maintains; a fact that the Chairman felt was worthy of consideration. He further expressed the feeling that future meetings need not be held at the most expensive of places and that they should be easily accessible via air. Consequently, the following sites and dates were agreed upon by the Board of Governors (all dates and places are confirmed.): 1975 Jun 5-6 -- Stouffer's, Atlanta, Georgia 1975 Oct 1-3 --- Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida 1976 Feb 5-6 -- New Orleans Marriott, New Orleans, Louisiana 1976 Jun 3-4 -- Twin Bridges Marriott, Arlington, Virginia 1976 Oct 6-8 -- Savannah Inn & Country Club, Savannah, Georgia 1977 Feb 3-4 -- The Mills Hyatt House, Charleston, South Carolina 14 A continuation of the discussion begun at the last meeting of the Board concerning redirection for ATI was brought before the Governors by Chairman Kuzmuk. In reopening the discussion, the Chairman recalled prior considera tion given to the possibility of the Institute sometime in the future becoming a division of the Asbestos Information Association/North America -- and to perhaps widening the horizons of the ATI by becoming a high-temperature, heat-resistant fabric or yarn organization. The Chairman expressed the opinion that a broadening of the organization would certainly help to keep it a viable group. He stated that companies that, in the past, had been manufac turing materials that contained 100% asbestos are now using combinations, such as asbestos and glass, and that often the result is a superior product in certain applications. He felt the matter merited discussion but stated that an important factor to be considered would be the effect such a move would have on individual member companies. During discussion it was brought out that such a redirection would help to keep abreast of the technology of competitive materials and would also assist in answering the needs of customers who are now and will be looking for alternatives to asbestos-containing textile materials. It was thought that perhaps the Technical Committee should undertake a study of substitutes for asbestos materials to allow performance comparisons and perhaps .... PRODUCED JM - S3 MS 006427 MT-005832 Page 5 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 the results could be printed in booklet form for use by the member companies. This could be an interesting and useful investigation in terms of giving members advance information of what might be the future competitive materials which may, because of their suitability and because of the environmental pressures on the asbestos industry, be effective and acceptable substitutes. Contrarily, it was believed by many on the Board that the thrust of the Institute and of the member companies or divisions of the member companies was asbestos textiles and that this should not be diluted in any way. Legal Counsel stated there is nothing wrong, legally, with making a study of competitive pro ducts for the benefit of the products with which you are involved. It was further felt by many that there was an advantage to the existing "smallness" of the organization. Following a detailed discussion, the matter was withdrawn by Mr. Morris, originator of the suggestion. 15. Chairman Kuzmuk reported that he has requested a copy of the Proceedings of the International Conference of Asbestos Associations and Asbestos Information Bodies, held November 28-29, 1974, in Paris, France, by the Chambre Syndicale de l'Amiante and the U. K. Asbestos Information Committee. When made available, their contents may be brought before the Board for discussion if it is deemed they merit such consideration. ATI was represented at the Conference by a member of the Garlock organization. 16. Just as a matter of information. Chairman Kuzmuk briefly reviewed the last six items on page 2 and the first two items on page 3 of the Board Agenda which is attached to the front of these Minutes. Each Governor had already been alerted to the studies, prior to this Meeting. ... At the request of Mr. Morris, the Secretary had compiled a few statistics from the files of ASBESTOS Magazine which perhaps would show some sort of a trend to compare with figures given by Barry I. Castleman (Maryland Public Interest Research Group) to sub stantiate his allegations about "the flight of the asbestos industry to unregulated countries." Although the statistics from the Secretary are limited and incomplete, they are available without charge to any member company if it is felt they might be of some interest. 17. Mr. Morris was given the floor to discuss a proposal he wished to present to the Board of Governors. He explained that the proposal was one of the reasons why he asked the Secretary to pull together the import and export statistics referred to in Item 16 to be able to compare the afore-mentioned figures in the Castleman report with those issued by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior. Uniroyal, Inc., intends to investigate the possibility 'of the imposing higher and more-restrictive tariffs on asbestos imports from off-shore installations. Albeit a self-serving proposal, Uniroyal intends to pursue this and it would like very much to have the support of the ATI in its quest. - Uniroyal feels it has a vested interest in the domestic markets and an off-shore operation has a competitive edge because of differen tials in such things as labor costs. Uniroyal intends to do everything possible to protect its markets in the U.S. and it intends to pursue this issue to the fullest. MS 006428 produced JM - 83 MT-005833 Page 6 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 A comment to the above by Legal Counsel was that what Mr. Morris proposed, as he 'understood it, was a lobbying approach to the Government. That in itself is legally permissible under the Noerr doctrine. Obviously, however, there could be conflicts within the organization itself. The imports about which Mr. Morris was concerned are imports of textiles which could be converted into a fabric or similar application by a domestic manufacturer. His concern is for the future. Within 18 months domestic manu facturers of asbestos textiles must meet the two-fiber limitation set by OSHA. He feels that this will be allowed to mature although there may be an abatement period or an extension. We may have a year or so extension but sooner or later, within 18 months, this point is going to rise. Uniroyal knows where it stands today insofar as current dust levels at its plants are concerned. It knows what must be done to meet the two-fiber level. It also knows how its products perform in the marketplace and that the health issue is not going to be a prob lem with its customers. But it is not going to sit still and spend money to get below a two-fiber limit and have someone sitting off-shore be allowed to bring in a yam or a fabric and perhaps sell the product to its customers at a cheaper price. A lengthy discussion evolved from the proposal. Some companies felt they could not support such an endeavor. Others felt that those countries outside of the U.S. that are currently categorized as "unregulated" will in the not-toodistant future have to meet industrial health and safety standards similar to those now in force or in the offing in this Country. Another comment was that not much can be done in Washington, D.C., unless you show you are getting hurt, unfairly. Also, some of the Governors felt the proposal to be premature -- what could be done at this point? The matter remained unresolved and the discussion was terminated. 18. A query was posed by Mr. Sccwcroft as to whether or not there was agreement within each individual company as to what is required concerning labeling'. It appears that many companies are labeling all packages that carry asbestoscontaining materials. Brief mention was made of the questionnaire that was circulated by a company in an effort to determine what each firm was labeling and how it was handling the procedure. Although none has been sent out as yet, it was thought that a summary of the findings of the survey would be forwarded to those who initially replied to the inquiry. Legal Counsel cautioned that he did not think the ATI should take a position on the matter of labeling as it is not within the realm of the Institute's responsibilities to pass judg ment at this time as to what kind of labeling would protect the worker in the workplace or would give adequate warning. The Government has issued a minimum requirement as to labeling. If individual companies want to go beyond that, it is their prerogative to do so. It is quite appropriate to question what an individual company is doing in an effort to determine if all the companies are interpreting the regulations in the same way. It is inappropriate to take a position as an association as to what should be done. Also, there should be no agreement, formal or informal, between competing companies as to what degree of labeling is adopted because that could give one company a competitive advan tage over another. It was also advised by Attorney Alcorn that any answers to the afore-mentioned questionnaire should be cleared through house counsel before forwarding. PRODUCED - S3 MS 006429 MT-005834 Page 7 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 2/6/75 ATI-138 19. Concerning the status of the process of incorporating the ATI, the Secretary has received copies of forms from Attorney Alcorn which are to be filled in and sent on to the proper authorities. Plans to proceed immediately were halted in that it was felt we should wait just a little while until, hopefully, we get a ruling from Judge Steger on our motion to be dismissed from the Tyler Litigation. The reason is that if the Judge does call for oral arguments on that motion or if ATI gets further discovery, such as deposition of the Secretary, it would be well to be able to reply in the affirmative to the question: Are you an unin corporated trade association? The grounds for this thinking is that ATI has raised the argument that it was improperly served; i.e., the process was served on the Secretary of State, Texas, and it.was mailed to the ATI Executive Secretar;w There is a question whether that is proper service on an unincorporated association. The proper service might have to be on all the individual members of the Institute -- but that depends upon State law and Texas is unclear on that question. If, however, the Judge does let ATI out on the grounds of improper service and it were known that ATI is now incorporated, it would be a simple matter for the Institute to be served again. If ATI remains unincorporated and a decision were made that the service was, in fact, improper, it is. highly unlikely that the effort would then be made to serve all individual companies. It would not hurt to proceed slowly with the incorporation process since the Institute does not plan to take any positions or to undertake any lobbying efforts. The Board, of Governors agreed with Legal Counsel's suggestion to wait a month or two and if ATI is still in the litigation we will move ahead and have the incorporation process completed by the June 1975 meeting of the Board. 2\', Since all members of the Board had attended the Ad Hoc Committee meeting held earlier the same day, there was no need to discuss the status of the Tyler Litigation. However, in response to a question posed by Trial Counsel, it was agreed by the members that Attorney Alcorn attend the deposition of Dr. Lee Grant scheduled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 6-7, 1975 -- in the event that questions concerning the Institute are asked. Trial Counsel stated that if there is no question and answer that he considers relevant to ATI's position as an association, he probably will not order a copy of the transcript of the deposition as it might cost as high as $300-$400. If there is something rele vant in the transcript, then a copy will be ordered. If a copy is not ordered for the ATI, individual companies may still like to read what Dr. Grant said as it will likely be highly-relevant to individual companies for any cases in which they night be involved in the future. It was suggested that if some individual company or companies are interested in the transcript regardless if the Insti tute has a dire need for it, Attorney Alcorn could order one copy and run it through the copying machine and the companies wanting a copy could share the costs of the process. 21. Chairman Kuzmuk reminded the Governors of the reception to be held that evening and of committee and general membership meetings the next morning. .21 There being no further business to be brought before the ATI Board of Gover nors, it was moved by Mr. Scowcroft, seconded by Mr. Morris, and so moved, unanimously, that the meeting be adjourned. Adjournment occurred at 5'30 p.m. Respectfully submitted. Doris M.

This left a cash balance on hand at December 31, 1974, of $24,341.84 ($10,164.78 for general purposes, plus $14,177*06 for the Litigation Defense Fund). Adding assets of cash on hand together with accounts receivable and the nominal $1.00 value for furniture and equipment, the total net worth of the Institute at year-end 1974 was $30,001.74* For a breakdown of the Litigation Defense Fund which was established April 1, 1974, the cash balance on hand as of June 17, 1974, was $11,250.00.

The Fiber Producers' Report was presented by E. A. Farrell, Sales Manager,^ Lake Asbestos of Quebec, Ltd. In discussing the period January-October 1974 Farrell gave a breakdown of the 28,611 metric tons of spinning-grade fiber ex. ed from Canada -- by quantities and by countries of destination. He also more, MS 006445 MT-005850 Page 3 -- ATI 1975 Winter Meeting -- 2/7/75 ATI-138 referred to the many difficulties currently besetting the Canadian Asbestos Industry such as the fire that occurred in December at the King-Beaver Mill of Asbestos Corporation Ltd.; the landslide at the Jeffrey Mine Pit of Canadian Johns-Manville Co. Ltd.; the pit problems of Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd.; and a possible labor strike at the Quebec mines. As a result of these many problems, Mr. Farrell reported that Group 3 fibers are in short supply. Also, Group 7 is available but Groups l+, 5 and 6 continue in short supply. (See Attachment II for a copy of the entire Fiber Producers' Report.) 2 In the absence of C. S. Barnwell, Chairman of the Technical Committee, the report on the activities of that working group was given by Committee Member John . Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins advised of the completion of the Round Robin tests on tubular sleeving, tape, cloth and lap and that reviews of and modifications to the following ASTM Specifications were made: D-315 on FJoven Asbestos Tape, Dl06l on Asbestos Lap and D1571 on Woven Asbestos Cloth. (See Attachment III for the complete Technical Committee Report.) 8, A report on the Environmental Committee's activities was presented by Chair man L. E. Moody. Mr. Moody advised he was reporting on the first meeting of the Committee, newly-formed by combining the former Air Hygiene and Manufacturing Committee and the Environmental Health Committee. He advised that W. B. Alcorn, J. ., Esq., ATI Legal Counsel, reviewed for the Committee the decision handed down in the IUD/CIO case. ^The group then proceeded to review OSHA Standard 1910-93a. (See Attachment IV for the entire Environmental Committee report.) _9v President Kuzmuk addressed the menbership-at-large stating he had a pleasant duty to perform -- and it was indeed a privilege to present an engraved, walnut plaque to a well-respected friend of long-standing of the- ATI: Paul 0. Nicodemus Mr. Nicodemus has impressive technical qualifications -- a B.S. in Chemistry from Penn State University and an M.S. from the University of Pennsylvania. He has had 33 years of service with General Electric Company during which time he has been most helpful to the Asbestos Textile Industry. Perhaps his greatest contribution is his many years of dedicated work with ASTM in setting standards for practically all of the asbestos commodities -- and most recently in working with the ATI Technical Committee in keeping all pertinent standards up-to-date. Mr. Nicodemus has not only made a technical contribution but he has also found time to work with various charities and social groups such as the Retarded Children's Instructional Bowling League; a Member of the Board of Camp Paul, which provides summer vacations for retarded children; and a former Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus. In asking Mr. Nicodemus to come forward to receive his plaque. President Kuzmuk stated it was with the greatest of pleasure, on behalf of the ATI, to present him with this token of the Industry's appreciation for his many contri butions over the years. Mr. Nicodemus was completely overwhelmed by the unexpected event -- but was most pleased and sincerely thanked the Institute for the plaque. more MS 006446 MT-005851 Page 4 -- ATI 1975 Winter Meeting -- 2/7/75 ATI-138 10. The report of the Ad Hoc Committee was given by Chairman A. C. F. Finkbiner, III, Esq. Attorney Finkbiner discussed the current status of the Yandle and Kay cases insofar as ATI's involvement in the Tyler Litigation is concerned. He advised that a deposition of Dr. Lee Grant, Medical Adviser with Pittsburgh Corning Corporation, is scheduled for March 6-7, 1975, in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl vania, and that hopefully the ATI, by its next meeting, will know what decision has been handed down by the judge on its motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds. (See Attachment for the full report.) 11. Remarks of Legal Counsel were presented by Attorney Alcorn. In essence he discussed several points relating to compliance with OSHA regulations. Addi tionally, he reviewed a recent development in the Telex-IHM litigation; the increase in the criminal sanctions under the Sherman Act; the stronger, more vigorous regional price-fixing attack by the U.S. Department of Justice; and, for the benefit of house counsel, he mentioned Senate Bill #356, enacted Decem ber 19, 1974, titled the Magneson-Moss Warranty and Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act (of interest to those companies that sell consumer products that have any kind of warranties, written or implied.) (The full text of Legal Counsel's Remarks are appended to these Minutes as Attachment VI.) 12. President Kuzrnuk reported that the ATI Board of Governors had unanimously agreed that future Annual Meetings would be held as per usual and that the Executive Secretary was looking into suitable sites for the Institute's 1975 and 1976 Annual Meetings. When firmed, the membership will be so advised. 13 It was reported by President Kuzrnuk that Nicolet Industries, Inc., has gone out of the asbestos yam business and, therefore, no longer qualifies for member ship in the Institute. As a result, Nicolet has tendered its resignation from the ATI as of December 31, 1974, but President G. G. Gabrielson, Jr., has advised of Nicolet's intent to continue to support the Institute in its defense efforts in the Tyler Litigation -- including active participation in the affairs and activities of the Ad Hoc Committee. 14 President Kuzrnuk stated that a new Membership Directory would be issued within the next two months, as soon as all necessary information is received, compiled and printed. 15. Following the announcement that the 1975 Spring Meeting of the ATI would be held June 5-6, 1975. at Stouffer's Atlanta Inn, Atlanta, Georgia, President Kuzrnuk entertained a motion for adjournment. It was so moved by L. E. Moody, seconded by P. E. Leclerc, and unanimously approved by the attending members -- and the meeting was adjourned at 3-00 p.m. Respectfully submitted. MS 006447 MT-005852 AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT ASBESTOS TEXTILE INSTITUTE February 7, 1975 ATI-138 Presented by Chairman Aaron C. F. Finkbiner, III, Esq., Johns-Manville Corpora tion, at the ATI 1975 Winter Meeting held at Holiday Inn-Independence Mall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The court in Tyler, Texas, has before it motions filed on behalf of the Asbestos Textile Institute seeking to dismiss both lawsuits on the grounds that the court does not have jurisdiction over ATI because the Institute never was in Texas. $he motions have been sitting for more than nine months. The judge has not as yet taken action except to grant the opportunity to the plaintiff to take whatever discovery he wants. "Discovery" is a system whereby parties on both sides of the lawsuit can seek facts, identity of witnesses, documents, and other things from the opposing side. The plaintiffs in the Yandle and Kay cases have not really directed any discovery efforts toward kfl with an eye to proving that the Institute had sufficient connection with Texas to give the court jurisdiction. We are perfectly content to let that situation remain as it is. Therefore, the ATI has not taken any affirmative steps of its own in the litigation. Other defendants in the Yandle and Kay lawsuits have also sought to have the case dismissed at the outset. It is against those defendants that the plain tiffs have directed their discovery efforts to try to keep them in the suits. It is expected the judge should rule on the motions on ATI sometime during the next three or four months but we will just have to wait and see. We are, however, getting into a more favorable position to suggest to the judge that we have been in the case long enough, the plaintiffs have had ample time to develop whatever evidence they want on the jurisdiction question -- and to get the judge to make a ruling promptly. We are still somewhat optimistic because of the plaintiffs' apparent disinclination to really pursue ATI on this question. For those of you who may not be familiar with the Yandle and Kay lawsuits, in detail, they are cases which former employees of Pittsburgh Corning Corporation brought against that company, its medical director (Dr. Lee Grant), ATI, two miners of asbestos that sold fiber to Pittsburgh Corning, etc., alleging various theories of recovery which are different as to each defendant. However, basically the plaintiffs are saying they were injured at the Tyler plant and are entitled to money damages to compensate them for that injury. They are also seeking punitive damages. In the Yandle case there are now 77 individual plaintiffs. In the Kay case ~ there are 46. That is a total of 123 out of a potential of 570 former employ ees of Pittsburgh Corning who worked at the plant at Tyler. more. ACTED MS 006448 Att.V/page 1 of 2 MT-005853 ATI Ad Hoc Cconittee Report - 2/7/75 ATI-138 Dr. Grant's deposition will be taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 6-7, 1975. Certainly the court will wait until after that deposition to make a ruling on the pending motions. Quite possibly the deposition may open a whole new set of avenues that the plaintiff will try to pursue before he will agree that he has enough discovery. Then the judge can make an informed ruling on the jurisdictional question. Basically that is the situation. ATI is simply in a "wait and see" position. It is hoped that by the June 1975 meeting of the ATI we will have a report on what the judge did with our motions. The following question was asked by one of the attending members: Is there no limit the judge can set on the time allowed for a plaintiff to eeekdiscovery -- or does the time just go on and on? The judge can set a time limit. It is unlikely in a case of this magnitude that you will start to see the court pressing the attorneys for the different parties as to when they will be finished their discovery for a couple of years. Once the preliminary motions are set and decided, it would seem logical for the judge in this kind of case where there are so many plaintiffs and several de fendants that he would try to set some sort of orderly framework for the case to proceed. He will probably gather the attorneys together in an endeavor to determine how long they will need for discovery. The plaintiffs' lawyers will probably say a year and the defense lawyers will probably say they need years and years because of the many different plaintiffs. Probably the judge will at that time set some preliminary guidelines. It is probable that it will be several years before this case is ready for trial. It world be unrealistic to expect the case will be ready for trial in less than three years. In short, the case is going to be around for a long time, and that is why we want the initial motion of ATI to be ruled upon before the case gets into the real merits. -end- MS 006449 MT-005854 REMARKS OF LEGAL COUUSEL ASBESTOS TEXTILE INSTITUTE February 7. 1975 ATI-138 Presented by Wendell B. Alcorn, Jr., Esq., ATI Legal Counsel, at the 1975 Winter Meeting of the ATI held at Holiday Inn-Independence Mall, Philadelphia, Pennsyl vania. It is indeed a pleasure to be here. As I have said in the past, I enjoy the fellowship almost as much as giving my remarks of legal counsel. We have had a lot of developments in the past few months since our last meeting which I do want to bring to your attention. With respect to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), there are several points I want to make relating to compliance. There recently were a series of citations issued to the Old Ben Coal Corporation. OSHA has made an example of this company. It has levied a $70,000 fine for 70 separate violations of the coal dust standard. This isthe heaviest penalty that has been levied to date for any separate series ofviolations. The maximum serious violation penalty under OSHA is $1000 per violation. Approximately 80$ of the OSHA citations that have been issued to date are non-serious violations. The administrative law judge who handed down the penalty against "Old Ben" said the company had flaunted its obligation to observe safety standards. It was cited 50 times in~ the last two years for violating the same standard that it continued to violate -- and it showed no intention of correcting the situation. It had received a number of lesser fines in the- yearspast. The moral of the story is pretty clear. If you get a minor or non-serious citation, at least show good faith with the OSHA people and make an effort to correct the situation. If the situation cannot be corrected completely, keep OSHA informed through periodic reporting; ask their advice and assistance; cooperate with them as much as you can consistent with your own individual interests; and, above all, be diplomatic. THE OSHA GENERAL DUTY CLAUSE MS 006450 We in the asbestos industry have been concerned for quite a few years with the OSHA Asbestos Standard. We tend to forget, however, that there is a general catch-all clause in the OSHA Act that places on the employer a very broad duty. It says that each employer "shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are caus ing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees." I have reviewed the cases that have been decided to date under the general duty clause and have come up with several general rules I would like to discuss briefly with you. These rules are derived fromj^nfcases that have been handed more.... Att. VI/Page 1 of 6 MT-005855 ATI - Remarks of Legal Counsel - 2/7/75 ATI-138 down under this clause. I think, however, that the principles that have evolved can be applied to any type of OSHA compliance situation. No. 1, if there is a specific standard in effect it preempts the general duty clause; so if you have an asbestos dust problem, the general duty clause is not the method by which OSHA would proceed. It would proceed under the Asbestos Standard. The second thing is that the clause covers contractors and subcontractors. If you have someone who is contracting for you, his employees are covered under the general duty clause. If you are in a joint venture- with another company, be careful because you may well be held liable for something the other firm is doing without your knowledge. Separate workplaces lead to separate violations. If you have a spinning room, and another room at your plant, and you are doing the same thing in both rooms, it might lead to two citations for violations under the general duty clause. You are responsible-for the safety of non-owned equipment. If you have leased or rented equipment, you must make certain it is safe. The mere occurrence of an accident does not prove a violation. Suppose a worker gets hurt at a plant and OSHA comes in and gives you a citation. If the facts indicate that you did everything within reason to prevent that accident and you had no cause to know the accident would occur before it did, then you can probably defeat the citation if it were given under the general duty clause. The standard of your conduct is "reasonableness." What would a reasonable man do in your situation. Foolhardy acts of employees do not lead to a violation. Jhere was one case that was decided where an employee walked under a crane and pulled out the pins that held up the crane. The crane crashed down and killed him. The employer was cited under the general duty clause as not having provided a safe workplace -- and the U.S. Department of Labor lost the case. There may be a violation if the thing that you are doing is recognized as a hazard in your industry. A company can take certain actions and perhaps not recognize that a condition at its plant is hazardous, but if it is recognized in the industry by your fellow companies as generally being hazardous then this is something that does come under the general duty clause. Of course, some hazards are necessarily attendant to any work. For example, there was a case that was brought where some garbage men were picking up the garbage cans and the hydraulic tailgate fell on one of the workers, injuring him. OSHA cited the company that owned the garbage truck for violation of the general duty clause. It was ruled to not be a violation because it was something that was necessary to the collection of garbage. People have to work under hydraulic tailgates. MS 006451 more Att. VI/Page 2 of 6 MT-005856 ut ATI - Remarks of Legal Counsel - 2/7/75 ATI-138 Most companies have their own internal safety rules. The simple promulgation or announcement of a safety rule to your employees does not mean that the thing you are endeavoring to prevent by establishing that rule is recognized by you to be a hazard. However, it is of some evidentiary importance. For example if you issue a rule in your company that there is not to be smoking within 50 feet of a certain area, then if you are brought in under the general duty clause OSHA (or the Department of Labor) can cite your company's rule as having some evidentiary weight on whether that area was considered to be hazardous, in your thinking. The hazard that is covered under the general dr.L~r clause must be one that will probably occur unless corrective action or prop? ' warnings are undertaken. A mere possibility does not suffice. There was a case decided where an OSHA inspector saw that some foundation work had been removed from bricks that covered an archway. The bricks were not loose and the mortar was soundj but the OSHA inspector said there was a possibility that the bricks would fall and hurt somebody. So he issued a citation -- but the company won. There was no probability of a hazard. . Many of us deal with equipment that has rated capacity. We ride on elevators in hotels that are capable of handling a certain number of pounds or tons. This is of some evidentiary value. For example, if you are operating a crane that has a certain capacity limitation or specification and a cable breaks or some thing happens where the crane swings around, hits somebody and injures him -- then you could well be held in violation of the general duty clause; and the specification on the crane could be introduced as evidence. But it is a fact question as to whether heed was paid to the specification on the crane; if a maximum load was intended; or if it was being used just for your own convenience in operating your business. There are some conclusions to be drawn from these cases. You do have a duty to warn of unusual or dangerous conditions at your plant. You must warn your employees of these. You have a duty to supervise inexperienced workers or workers whose duties are necessarily involved with hazardous activities. You have a duty to not be negligent. You must act as a reasonable person in the conduct of your business. There is a factual presumption before administrative law judges in favor of the injured worker, unless he acted in a gross or wanton manner in disregard of his own safety. There are many cases on the books where the supervisor advised a worker of a hazard and the worker did not pay heed. This is a defense to a citation given under the general duty clause. A case has been decided that was brought against American Smelting and Refining Company which is of particular interest. In essence, the case stands for the proposition that an employer must use sophisticated testing devices and methods to detect unseen hazards in the workplace. For example, in this particular instance the company undertook some casual monitoring to measure airborne lead from a smelter. By the sane token, the employer had a duty to make his employees wear respirators within a certain area. The employer undertook to MS 006452 Att. VI/Page 3 of 6 MT-005857 000, ATI - Remarks of Legal Counsel - 2/7/75 ATI-138 monitor the air and if the air was allright, it would not make the employees wear the respirators. OSHA came in and issued a citation for violation of the general duty clause for failing to make tne employees wear the respirators -- and the citation was upheld. C5HA said the casual monitoring program was not sufficient. Even if tne company had undertaker tc me .lit or the lead content of the air on r regular basis, OSHA would still Lave Issued the citation to the company for its iuilure to male the employee.. w:,fr ^ea^irators. Even though the situation is net recognized at a hazard in the industry, actual knowledge that a part of your plant, or an activity in your plant constitutes a hazard to the workers is sufficient to raise a dvtr under this particular clause in the OSHA Act. You mu.su warn rad take correc;iv measures. The Secretary of Labor in an OSHA case under the general duty clause must show the following things -- and it would be well to bear these in mind. First, he must show that your company is in interstate commerce or have substantial effect upon interstate commerce. All U.S. member companies of the ATI fall in this category and, therefore, OSHA does have jurisdiction. Second, he has to show that a hazard existed -- a hazardous condition was, in fact, there. This can be a hazard recognized in your industry or one of which the employer has actual knowledge. Thirdly, the Secretary of Labor or his representative must show that the condition was likely to cause death or serious bodily ham to your employee. Fourth, the burden is on the respondent in a case like this to show there was a specific standard that governed the case and that the general duty clause should not be invoked. THE TELEX-IBM CASE In November 1973 an Oklahoma federal district court judge had the bright idea to issue against IBM a damage assessment which was the largest in the entire history of American jurisprudence. It was in a private, treble damage antitrust action under the Sherman Act. Telex was a competitor of IBM and accused IBM of attempting to monopolize and actually monopolizing the market for electronic data-processing products. The amount of the damage award against IBM was $259.5-million. In the course of the litigation, IBM had counterclaimed against Telex and said they were pirates: "They stole some of our business secrets and used them for their own advantage." The judge found against Telex on the counterclaim and awarded a substantial damage claim against Telex. The case was appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and just recently, January 24, 1975, the Circuit Court overturned the lower court's holding against WIT-005858 uoo, ATI - Remarks of Legal Counsel - 2/7/75 ATI-138 The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's decision on two technical antitrust grounds. One was that the lower court had too narrowlydefined the product market under the She man Act. Under the Sherman Act a relevant product market must be defined in order to judge the competitive effects that the conduct being challenged has had, to judge and identify the competitors in that market and to evaluate the market shares held by competitors. The lower court had defined the relevant product market as constituting electronic dataprocessing products which were "plug compatible" with IBM central-processing units. As of now the Circuit Court has issued a brief written opinion on this, although a fully-detailed writing is expected shortly. But from the arguments made by IBM's counsel before the court, we must assume that the higher court wanted the product market drawn either along the lines of all electronic dataprocessing equipment or something between that which is "plug compatible" with IBM and the entire electronic data-processing field. Also the upper court said something that is most important, in my view, if it prevails, and that is that the practices of IBM that were challenged by Telex constituted valid, competitive practices and were neither predatory nor other wise violative of the antitrust acts. IBM now sits in the position of having no damage assessment against it. Telex, which is a much smaller company, has a total damage assessment against it of $18.5-million. The conclusion is pretty obvious. Telex will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and try to get that body to hear the case. In view of the large damage award that is still prevailing against Telex and the loss of its damage award against IBM, it is likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will take the case. There also is a chance the case will be settled before the final outcome is rendered by the Supreme Court. CRIMINAL SANCTIONS, PRICE FIXING & WARRANTIES MS 006454 The criminal sanctions under the Sherman Act have been increased. They had been $50,000 -- now we are talking about $l-million for corporations and several hundred thousand dollars in the case of individuals. The U.S. Department of Justice has undertaken a much stronger and more vigorous regional price fixing attack. It has put 40 additional staff attorneys on the antitrust division price fixing task force. They are going out in the field and are looking at economic data rather than listening on the telephone and picking up correspondence relating to price fixing. They are looking at economic data in industries as an early warning device against price fixing -- to see if the prices charged by different companies have moved together, etc. more MT-005859 ATI-138 ATI - Remarks of Legal Counsel - 2/7/75 They have been authorized to use the FBI to a much greater extent than in the past. In a word, the antitrust division is moving very vigorously against regional and local price fixing arrangements. Another matter I would like to call to your attention, particularly for the benefit of your house counsel, is: If you sell consumer products that have any kind of warranties, written warranties or implied warranties, I would be happy to send your house counsel a copy of a recent Bill that was enacted and passed December 19, 1974- It is Senate Bill 356 and is called "The Magneson-Moss Warranty and Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act." If your house counsel receives the CCH Trade Regulation Reports, it is a special print-out numbered 156156 that came out in December. The Federal Government, in a word, has laid down specific requirements that any written warranty on consumer product has to meet. If they do not meet them, they will be in violation of Federal law. Even if you do not have a written warranty, look at the Bill because it also has serious implications for implied warranties. It does not preempt in its entirety the warranty provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, but it does have an effect on all warranties of that nature. -end- MS 006455 Att.

A. Farrell, Sales Manager, Lake Asbestos of Quebec, Ltd., at the Winter Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, held at Holiday Inn-Independence Mall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- February 7, 1975 The Canadian Asbestos Industry has suddenly become burdened with great diffi culties . The first disaster was the fire in December that destroyed the Asbestos Corpora tion King Beaver Mill. This will result in a loss of 150,000 short tons of fiber in 1975, including a large tonnage of spinning fiber. This was followed in January by a serious slide at the Johns-Manville Jeffrey pit at Asbestos, Quebec. It appears that it will have some effect on the supply of their fiber since it will take six months to a year to clear up the matter. I understand that two large shovels were covered in the slide. Also, Cassiar Asbestos Corporation is having pit problems. We then have over-hanging these industry problems a possible labor strike at all of the Quebec mines. Negotiations are currently in a critical stage and the industry requests your cooperation and understanding during this difficult period. As a result of the afore-mentioned problems. Group 3 fiber is in short supply and Groups 4, 5 and 6 continue in short supply. Group 7 is available.

Mr. Nicodemus, Chairman of ASTM Subcommittee D13.14, was asked to chair the committee during this meeting due to the fact that ASTM Specifications would be under considera tion. 1 Round Robin tests have been completed on tubular sleeving, tape, cloth and lap. It was acknowledged that assistance was necessary from ASTM to compile statis tical data from the results of the tests. Although the sleeving data diameter measurements were very variable, it was decided that they should remain because in test the variations do exist. Based upon discrepancies and lack of clarity evident from the Round Robin tests, test procedures involved were reviewed. In Specification D-315 on Asbestos Tape the method of breaking was modified to insure the correct jaws are being used. The format for conformance, reports and precision also were modified. In Specification 1571 on Asbestos Cloth the weight section was rewritten so that the result of the weighing would be reported in the same unit measurement as that used in industry standards. It was agreed that Specification 1061 on Asbestos Lap should include precision and accuracy based on the original Round Robin test, even though wide variations were obtained.

The members of the Committee desired a legal opinion of the decision of the three-judge panel, of the importance of the two items remanded to 0SHA for consideration, and of possible future moves or actions that might result from the decision. As planned, the Committee spent the balance of the session reviewing 0SHA 1910-93a. Each item or paragraph was discussed in an endeavor to determine interpretations among the Committee Members and to consider what possible interpretations might be presented by an Inspection Compliance Officer. It was agreed that should an Inspection Compliance Officer arrive at a membercompany plant to inspect that plant, the following "in-common" requests would be made: 1) that each sampling be an eight-hour sampling segmented by at least 16 filter changes of no more than 30 minutes. more..,..

In discussion each item and paragraph, questions were raised as to the meaning of parts, etc. In each area of questioning, each Member of the Committee was given opportunity to voice his individual views -- thereby enabling an agree able summation to be formed. The California OSHA law was briefly discussed. It was mutually agreed that this item should be investigated in greater detail as it will have some effect on all member companies of the ATI. The EPA waste disposal regulation, as it is presently recommended, was dis cussed. If the Regulation becomes law, it will cause difficulty to all asbestos products manufacturers, especially in the area of scrap disposal. Respectfully submitted, L. E.

Fagan, Executive Secretary, Asbestos Textile Institute H I I U r E S' 1. The June 5, 1975, Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asbestos Textile Institute was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Chairman Kuzmuk. . 2. Upon presentation, it was moved by Mr. Morris and seconded by Hr. Scanlan to dispense with the reading of the Minutes of the last stated-Meeting and to accept them as v/ritten. The motion was ap proved, unanimously. 3_. In presenting the Report of Fundsi Treasurer Scanlan advised that for the period from September 1, 1974, through April 30, 1975, (complete 9-ps.ge Report attached hereto}, the Institute began with a cash balance of $14,051.44, received $50,865.52 and disbursed $38^623.35"-- leaving a cash balance on hand at 4/30/75 of $26,293-61, of which $16,435.97 was earmarked solely for the Liti gation Defense Fund. . . . For the first 8 months of the 12-month Fiscal Tear 1974-75,excluding matters pertaining to the Chrysotile Asbestos-Test Mhnual, 3rd edition, and to the Litigation Defense Fund, $7,907.15 had been expended against the $12,965.00 budgeted. . .-Figures to 4/30/75 concerning the Test Manual show that $20,767.63 received less $22,250.65 spentresulted in a net loss of 1,463.02. In a verbal up-date to 6/3/75, the Treasurer reported that this loss had been decreased to-$1,288.47. . . : It was moved by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Eratt, and so carried, unanimously, to accept the Report as presented. The Report will be filed for audit. ' * more.......... MS 006488 MT-005893 ATI-138 Page 2 - ATI Eonrd of Governors1 Meeting - 6/5-6/75 / A. Subsequent to the advice that two Associated-Members had not yet paid their annual membership dues for the Year 1975, two of the Governors agreed to make personal contact with the delinquent mem bers in an effort to clarify and settle the matter. j>. Treasurer Scanlan advised he would secure an auditor to audit the ATI financial records for the Fiscal Year ended August 31, 1975. 6. Following a motion by Mr. Scowcroft that the dues schedule be changed to coincide with the end of the ATI fiscal year (membership dues are currently based on the calendar year), a brief discussion was held on the proposal. The outcome of the discussion was com plete agreement that Mr. ScowcroftTs suggestion was the proper method to follow. However, perhaps the final decision should be tabled until the next meeting since-it is expected the Institute will be incorporated by then. Also, upon an*inquiry from Mr. Morris, it was advised that barring any unforeseen extraordinary expenses the ATI is financially sound and should have ample funds to carry it beyond the end of the current fiscal year. Mr. Scow croft withdrew his motion and the matter will be again brought before the governing body at its meeting scheduled for October 1, 1975. OLD BUSINESS' 7. In discussing the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition, it was decided that rather than relocating the stock to another storage site, it would be more practical to continue to house it at ATI headuarters. . . . The Secretary advised she had received a letter from the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association indicating a problem had arisen in that QAMA was selling the Test 'Manual to non members for $25.00 a copy, against ATI's unit price of $16.95 (plus $2.00 to countries other than the United States, Canada and Mexico), it was agreed there was nothing the ATI could do at present to alle viate the problem. 8. Concerning the reactivated ANSI Committee L-18 on Protective Oc cupational Wearing-Apparel, it was reported by the Secretary that the March 20, 1975, meeting had been cancelled because an insuffi cient number of Committee members planned to attend. An attempt is being made by Committee Secretary J. F. McKenna to determine if there is enough interest and-'or need to continue the activity. . Proceedings will soon be available of the International Confer ence of Asbestos-Associations and Asbestos Information Bodies held in Paris, France, on November 28-29, 1974. They will be written in English and in French and when issued ATI will receive a copy for its files. more.......... MS 006489 . MT-005894 ....... ................................................ ATI-138 Page 3 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 6/5-6/75 10. Hr. Alcorn summarized the Articles of Incorporation of the Insti tute as follows. -The name of the corporation will be Asbestos Textile Institute,Inc. The registered agent will be C T Corpora tion, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for purposes of receipt of process. "CT11 is a service corporation meaning ^Corporation Trust." The Institute will preserve its purposes in that they have been taken from its present Constitution. It was suggested there may fee in order minor changes of an editorial-type nature and that a copy of the Articles should be reviewed by each Governor for his comments. The corporation will be organised on a non-stock basis. The Incor porators will be the members of the Board of Governors and each will be asked to affix his signature on the designated page of the Articles of Incorporation. Mr. Alcorn recommended the Board pass a resolution that the Institute adopt, at least temporarily, the By Laws that it presently has as an unincorporated association -- totake effect upon incorporation. It was so moved by Mr. Scowcroft, seconded by Mr. Morris, and unanimously approved. ^ Additional dis cussion led to a motion by Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Morris, and unanimously approved, that the Articles of Incorporation become effective as of September 1, 1975, thereby coinciding with the start of the 1975-76 Fiscal Tear. ' a) Mr. Alcorn presented-to the Governors for their consideration a proposed Resolution which, in essence, would permit ATI, Inc., to handle all usual business of the Association except the defense of the two lawsuits pending in the Tyler Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas -- and that the unincorpor ated Association be continued solely to defend its rights and in terests in the afore-mentioned lawsuits. Following discussion, it was moved by Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Scowcroft, and so carried, unanimously, that the Resolution be adopted and in effect as of June 5, 1975. The Resolution is attached to these Minutes in its entirety. b) Discussion initiated by_.Mr.-. Markus son led to a move-b3>- Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Scowcroft, and unanimously approved, that effective as of the incorporation of the Institute on September 1, 1975, the Ad Hoc Committee continue as a body of the unincorporated Association and that-all monies in the Litigation Defense Fund as of September 1, 1975, remain in the name of the unincorporated Association. 11. Since all members of the Eoard had attended the preceding meet ing of the Ad Hoc Committee and were fully apprixed of the status of the Tyler Litigation, there was no need for Committee Chairman Markusson to report on the lawsuits. However, the Secretary asked the Governors for some direction as to the correct approach to make available to all members of the ATI a copy of the full transcripts of the depositions of Lee 3. Grant, M.D., and William M. Johnson, M.D. The transcripts were purchased by and are in the possession of the ATI. Costs incurred were $325.56 for the Grant transcript and $240.00 for the Johnson transcript. All in attendance agreed that all members and/or their house counsel..should be given the opportunity to avail themselves of copies of the transcripts and, more MS 006490 WIT-005895 .. ATI-138 Page 4 ATI Board of Governors'' Meeting - 6/5-6/75 further, that they be permitted to purchase them from the Institute, at cost of reproduction -- $35.00 for the transcript of the Grant^ deposition and $30.00 for the one relating to Dr. Johnson. Notifi cation to that effect will be sent to each member company by the Secretary. 12. In the interest of time, discussions were tabled as to possible^ places to hold the 1977 Spring and Annual Meetings. The matter will be brought before the Board at its next stated meeting. Confirmed future meeting sites and dates are as listed on page 1 of the Agenda for this Meeting which is attached at the front of these Minutes. 12.. COMMITTEE REPORTS & DISCUSSION: . a} Technical -- report by Chairman C. S. Barnwell, Uniroyal, Inc. -- The Committee has full attendance at the 1975 Spring Meeting plus Mr. D. Barois of Asbestos Textil, S.A., Mexico. A quick review of past work is being made including that of ASTM Specification D-626 on Asbestos Tubular Sleeving in that statistical data is now com plete and the Specification is ready for acceptance as a Standard. The Committee has accepted newly-secured statistical data on ASTM Specification D-315 on Woven Asbestos Tape and D-1571 on Woven As bestos Cloth. Under discussion are interlaboratory tests on D-315 and D-1571, the written format of certain sections concerned with sampling in ASTM Specification D-lllS on Magnetic Rating of Asbestos Fiber and Textile Products, the editorial content of ASTM Specifi cation D-191S on Asbestos Content of Asbestos Textile Materials, and several asbestos-related Military Specifications. The Committee expects to work out a proposal to undertake Round-Robin tests re lated to surface area and to wet classification and is to reply to an inquiry from a Mexican asbestos textile manufacture concerning a proble*m of deteriorating tensile strength in .006 brass wire. At the request of P. 0. Nicodemus, ASTM/ATI liaison, the Committee is reviewing his article which appeared in the February and March 1975 issues of ASBESTOS Magazine on ''Present and Proposed Methods for Testing Asbestos Materials for Electrical Insulating Purposes." More specifically, the Committee has been asked to consider recom mending his section on dielectric properties as an ASTM Standard Method. * ^b) Environmental -- report by Acting Chairman R. T. Matthew, Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc. -- The agenda for the meeting to be held the next morning will include a showing of the 3M film ''Living With Dust;" a discussion on respirators and on the proposed Noise Stan dard., a review of the current OS HA Asbestos Standard and of changes in the new Standard, and the hearing of reports on recent 0SHA visits to the plants. ATI Chairman Kuzmuk suggested that perhaps the Committee could review the Asbestos Standard (1910.1001; for merly 1910.93a) toward compiling a general consensus of opinion or a paragraph-by-paragraph summarization which could be used by ATI members in consistently interpreting its content and meaning. Mr. Morris suggested the summarization could also be presented to OSHA more MS 006491 MT-005896 ATI-138' Page 5 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 6/5-6/75 as the Industry's interpretation of the Federal regulations. In addition, it could possibly serve as the basis of expert comment from the Industry at future hearings which will be held on new proposals to be issued by OSHA on the Asbestos Standard.. c) Fiber Research & Testing -- report by Chairman R: A.^Kuntze, Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd. (Ontario Research Foundation) -- In an attempt to find new avenues of endeavor, the Subcommittee ^ discussed the idea of doing some work with the OSHA dust-test andperhaps looking at the British method. As it turned out, however, the majority of the group felt the project did not fall within their primary field of interest. A project for the future could be modifications and alterations that should be made in a few of the Test Methods as they now appear in the latest edition of the Test Manual. Also, a study could be made of the asbestos-cement strength test (ASTM Method F-3) although this is currently being undertaken by ASTM Committee D3Q.03 and the subject does not parti cularly fall within the realm of ATI's interest. Mr. Alcorn asked Dr. Kuntse if there is available a complete catalog of the varieties of asbestos fibers as to their specific physical characteristics and geographical sources. This seems to be one of the areas of ignor ance on,the part of most medical doctors and attorneys who are . involved in asbestos-related lawsuits. In the context of lawsuits the question arises when the query is posed as to whether there is a way through an autopsy examination of a deceased person to deter mine which specific fibers caused a particular fatal disease. Dr. Kuntze replied he knows of no such publication and elaborated that it is extremely difficult, especially when the fibers are airborne and have reached the fibular state, to measure and count let alone identify their source. To this day the science of specifically identifying all the known types of asbestos-like minerals is not well defined. For instance, cumningtonite and grunerite fall into the same category, chemically speaking. Even under an electron microscope it is a very tedious process to determine the type of fiber or whether or not it is a fiber. To proceed one step further and endeavor to determine the source of the material, even in a simple sample such as water or air, would be-extremely difficult. To take it another step and get into tissues, and so forth, would necessitate a very large and costly research project. It was agreed during conversation that, generally speaking, the -physical characteristics and established sources, by country of origin, of the most widely-used varieties of asbestos are listed in the Hand book of Asbestos Textiles and "'or The Asbestos Factbook. Using of the problems is the close similarities in crystal structure. Since we are talking about a family of chain-like silicates, one could easily identify, incorrectly' z fibrous silicate as "..sbesttos tl more, MS 006492 MT-005897 ATI-138 Page 6 - ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 6/5-6/75 lk. Because of the lateness of the hour, Chairman Kuzmuk suggested tEe meeting be adjourned and that it be scheduled to continue at 9:30 a.m. the next morning. It was so moved by Mr. Morris, second ed by Mr. Bratt, and unanimously carried. , 15. Chairman Kuzmuk reconvened the meeting oil the ATI Board of Gov ernors by a call to order at 9:30 a.m., Friday, June 6, 1975. . New business' 16. Legal Counsel recommended there be a thorough cleaning of the Institute's files since there is a dire need for storage space and much of the past correspondence on file is of little or no value and of a general nature. He suggested the ATI establish a docu ment retention program, suitable to its needs but at the same time in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Internal Reven ue Service. Chairman Kuzmuk offered to supply Mr. Alcorn and the Secretary with a copy of the procedures followed by his company which define what must be done to comply with the law, to duly maintain proper protection and to amply evacuate records. It was moved by Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Morris, and unanimously carried, that Chairman/President Kuzmuk and the Secretary, with advice of Legal Counsel, be empowered to review the ATI files and institute a program of document retention. The project will be undertaken before the next meeting and will take into consideration the retain ing of that material which is deemed to be of an historical nature. 17. Chairman Kuzmuk advised that the film titled ''Killer Dust--A Standard Mistake" will be shown that afternoon immediately preced ing the General Meeting. It is concerned with the British Asbestos Standard and discusses conditions at an asbestos textile manufac turing plant of TBA Industrial Products Ltd. Chairman Kuzmuk ad vised that prior to the showing of the film he would relate to the membership some of the reactions to the film by Mr. R. A. Wells, Joint Managing Director of TBA. Also, a copy of the U.K. Asbestos Information Committee's "AIC Newsletter No. 5" would be distributed to the members as it, too, comments on the film. Since all in attendance at the Board meeting-expressed interest in receiving future issues of the Newsletter, the Secretary will make every effort to see that ATI is placed on AIC's distribution list for future mailings. -. IS. Chairman Kuzmuk read aloud a letter from R. H. Mereness, Execu-tive Director of the Asbestos Information- Association/North America, which sent regrets that he could not attend the Institute's General Meeting due to another commitment. He wants very much to be at the more MS 006493 Mt'00S898 Page 7 ........ ATI-138 ATI Board of Governors' Meeting - 6 /5-6 ''75 1975 Annual Meeting and to participate in our program in any way we feel appropriate. Mr. Mereness relayed to the Secretary that he hopes to establish a closer relationship between AIA/NA and asbes tos-related trade associations such as the ATI in an effort to maintain AIA/NA as a central source of information on the asbestos- health issue and to serve in other ways that would benefit the Asbestos Industry as a whole. . 19. Upon learning of the passing on May 26, 1975, of Dr. T. Watanabe, President of Nippon Asbestos Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, the Secretary was directed to send a letter to Nippon Asbestos, under the signa ture of President Kuzmuk, expressing the sincere condolences of the Board of Governors and of the entire membership of the ATI. 20. Life Support Equipment Corporation, Woburn, Massachusetts, ap proached the Institute with the idea of making known its electronic ' spirometer for lung function testing to the medical directors of ATI member companies. In replying, the Secretary expressed doubt the Institute would undertake the project as an association endeavor but would Consider circulating pertinent data to Regular Members if a supply of descriptive literature were supplied. 21. The Journal of Commerce, New York City, wrote to the ATI request ing an Institute directory or membership roster. The Secretary "ack nowledged the letter by stating it was not the ATI's usual policy to give out its roster and stating that some indication of the reason for the request might prompt further thought by the govern ing body of the Institute. . 22. -A letter was received from Lloyd Distributors, Tarzana, Califor nia, indicating they are thinking of joining ATI and requesting a membership list and policy information. No one on the Board knew of the firm. The Secretary will respond with a brief description of membership qualification. 23. It was agreed that since all Officers of the Institute would * continue to serve in their respective capacities for a second year, there was no need to appoint a Nominating Committee until the 1976 Spring Meeting. All Committee Chairman are scheduled to serve for another year with the exception of R. A. Kuntze who will be ap proached to see if he is willing to continue as Chairman of the Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee. 2A. A brief summary was given of the-introduction by Rep. M. Fenwick on April 8, 1975, of H.R. 5683 which, in essence, asks for a release of 9,900 short tons of GSA-stockpiled Chrysotile asbestos. All Board members have been fully apprised via memoranda from the Sec retary . . 25. Mr. Scowcroft commented there is often a dove-tailing of dates ox ATI meetings with other vital functions. It was agreed it is more............

Followingdiscussion, it was moved by Mr. Morris and seconded by 18?. Scowcroft that we invite Mr. Barry Castleman, of the Maryland Public Interest Research Group, to speak before the membership at the 1975 Annual Meeting. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Bratt and Scanlan. It was decided that since the motion was not carried unanimously it perhaps merited further thought and would, therefore, be tabled and brought up again at the next regularly-scheduled Board meeting. 27. It was mutually agreed to close the 1975 Annual Meeting with a reception and luncheon on Friday, October 3, 1975 -- all costs to be paid from Institute general funds. 28. The Board discussed the pro's and con's of expanding Regular Member Classes A and B to include manufacturers outside of the U.S. who make textiles from raw asbestos fiber. Points considered were as follows. The Industry has - slowly moved beyond the confines of the U.S. and is becoming more international in scope; If foreign manufacturers were to qualify for Regular membership, they would then become voting members on the Board and would have a voice in shaping Institute direction and policy. Such a move would also necessitate a change in the meaning of the "Caruso" production reports. In addition, it might be well to grant each Associate Mem ber the option of remaining as an Associate or transferring, if qualified* to Regular Member status. In fairness, however, the same privilege should be granted to each Regular Member to opt for Associate membership. It was moved by Mr. Bratt and seconded by Mr. Scowcroft that Legal Counsel be directed and authorized to draw up a resolution expanding the Regular Membership Classes A and B to in clude manufacturers outside the U.S. who produce textiles from raw asbestos fiber. Messrs. Bratt, Scanlan and Scowcroft voted in favor of the"motion. Mr. Morris abstained from casting a vote. It was, however, unanimously agreed to consider the class expansion. Said resolution will be prepared by Legal Counsel and distributed by mail to the members of the Board of Governors, thereby initiating a nvote by mail" which will serve to establish the proper "member ship definition" as it will appear in the Institute's Articles of Incorporation as of September 1,-1975. If the membership defini tion is not revised by that date, the subject will receive further discussion at the Board meeting scheduled for October 1, 1975. " Chairman Kuzmuk will report at the General Meeting on June 6, 1975, that a broadening of the base for Regular Member Classes A and E is under consideration. more............

For the four months from January through April 1975, overall tonnage was down 37.7$. Group 3 fiber production was down 44.4$. The decrease, of course, re flects the situation caused by the strike of Quebec asbestos mine workers, leaving Canadian Johns-Manville Co. Ltd. as the only com pany operating in the Province at the present time. See Attachment II for the Fiber Producers' Report in its entirety. 7. Technical Committee Chairman C. 5. Barnwell reported on the activities of his working group. He discussed various ASTM Stand ards and Military Specifications; a joint meeting with the Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee; and a proposal by P. 0. Nicodemus concerning dielectric properties. See Attachment III for the com plete Technical Committee Report. S. Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee Chairman R. A. Kuntze rei terated that his group, in conjunction with the Technical Committee, will set up a Round-Robin program for surface area and Bauer MeNett. Concerning a proposal by the ATI Board of Governors that a cataloging of information be prepared on the varieties of asbestos minerals, it was suggested by C. E. Stiefken that the information is probably available from the Asbestos Information Association/North America. If not, Mr. Stiefken has offered to search for the data sought by the Governors. . The Environmental Committee report was given by Acting Chairman R. T. Matthew in the absence, due to illness, of L. E. Moody. Fol lowing a showing of the 3M film ''Living With Dust," the Committee discussed the use of respirators in asbestos dust environs; the proposed new noise standard; the proposed new asbestos standard; and recent OSHA activity-plant visits. See Attachment IV for the com plete Environmental Committee report. 10. Ad Hoc Committee Chairman D. H. Markusson, Esq., reported on ATI's present status in the Tyler litigation and briefly discussed the depositions of Dr. Lee B. Grant and Dr. William M. Johnson. He advised that ATI will continue to maintain a low profile and to monitor all activities of the litigation. See Attachment V for the complete Ad Hoc Committee report. 11. President Kuzmuk advised that the Board of Governors is serious ly considering passing a resolution to broaden the membership by extending it beyond the boundaries of the United States to encompass the whole of the asbestos textile manufacturing world. 12. Concerning incorporation of the Institute, President Kuzmuk informed the members that it is anticipated the ATI will become a corporation effective September 1, 1975.

The attendees were reminded by the President of the coming Annual-Meeting to be held October 1-3, 1975, at Amelia Plantation ` Island, Amelia Island, Florida. It was advised that at that gath ering the Institute will again follow the pleasant tradition it had followed for a number of years and will hold a Grand Finale Luncheon on Friday as the closing event of the Annual Meeting -- all members and their wives cordially invited. 14. In presenting Remarks of Legal Counsel, W. B. Alcorn, Jr., Esq., reviewed the depositions of Dr's. Grant and Johnson, stating that the answers given in the interrogations indicate that whatever ATI did or did not do really had nothing to do with or had any cause and effect in Tyler, Texas. Based upon those two depositions, upon confidential negotiations on behalf of the ATI with plaintiffs' counsel, and upon the direction that plaintiffs' counsel has taken in the Tyler litigation insofar as not going after ATI but rather pursuing the real defendants in the case, Mr. Alcorn's professional opinion is that ATI has nothing more to worry about in the Tyler litigation even if it does not get out in the near future -- which he expects it to. He then discussed coming depositions in the Tyler litigation and other completely separate law suits. A landmark decision that is expected to come out of one of the pending cases in Texas is whether or not the Texas Longarm Statute can reach Canadian miners when they sell f.o.b. the shipping dock in Canada. This is an open legal question that is now being argued in Texas. In addition, Mr. Alcorn discussed the benefits which will be derived by the ATI becoming incorporated and the proposed expanding of the definition of membership in the Institute to include manufac turers outside the U.S. The full text of the Remarks of Legal Counsel are appended to these Minutes as Attachment VI. 15. There being no further business'to be brought before the member ship, it was moved by P. E. Leclerc, seconded by M. TJ. Oliver, that the meeting be adjourned.

Leclerc, Pales Director, Asbestos CorporationLtd., at the 1975 Spring Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, held at Stouffer's Atlanta Inn, Atlanta, Georgia -- June 6, 1975. Because of the asbestos workers'strike which has been in effect since 12:01 a.m., March 17, 1975, Canadian Johns-Manville Co. Ltd. is the sole asbestos mining company operating in the Eastern Townships of the Province of Quebec. This means that the only firms currently producing asbestos in the whole of Canada are C.J-M at Asbestos, Quebec; Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd. at Cassiar, British Columbia, and at Clinton Creek, Yukon Territory; and Advocate Mines Ltd., at Baie Verte, Newfoundland. Statistically, for the first four months of 1975 overall tonnages (shipments) were down 37.7$. A categorical breakdown for the same^ period shows a decrease of 44.4$ for Group 3 and increases of 11.3$ for Group 6 and 20$ for Group 7. Group 3 fibers, of course, do not include strictly asbestos textile fibers as much of the product from that Group is not suited to textiles but is exported around the world for use in the manufacture of asbestos-cement pipe. Asbestos Corporation's mine at Ungava, Quebec, is operating and is expected this year-to ship enough concentrate to its processing plant at Nordenham, West-Germany, to produce over 100,000 metric oons of Group 4 asbestos, specially designed for the asbestos-cement industry. There appears to be no rush on the part of the idle workers to set tle the strike. They are back to their original wage demands which exceed those granted by C.J-M to its workers. There are two unions in Thetford and they have made what is known as a common front. Signs of an early settlement are not evident and there is presently no way of knowing how long the strike will last. The outcome of meetings and discussions to date between the companies and the unions are not encouraging. The strike has not only stopped produc tion at the mines in Thetford, it also is preventing shipments of any kind as the warehouses are on the mine properties and the companies are not permitted into or out of the storage facilities.

Nicodemus (General Electric Company; ASTM Liaison), the Committee reviewed the article authored by Mr. Nicode mus titled ''Present and Proposed Methods for Testing Asbestos Mater ials for Electrical Insulating Purposes (February <3: March 1975 ASBESTOS) -- with the idea of considering the adoption of the sec tion on dielectric properties as an ASTM Standard Method. After complete discussion the matter was deemed sufficiently complex to warrant a greater-detailed study before reaching a firm decision. The Committee received statistical data complete enough to make the following ASTM Specifications ready for acceptance: D-315 on Woven Asbestos Tape, D-1571 on Woven Asbestos Cloth and D-62S on Asbestos Tubular Sleeving. . . . Several questions of an editorial nature concerning ASTM Specification D-lllS on Magnetic Rating of Asbestos Fiber and Textile Products were discussed and acted upon. The group proposes to review several Military Specifications to en sure they reflect the Committee's current thinking on how they should be written. Included are Federal Specifications HH-T-17&2 on Asbestos Tape, SS-C-17S3 on Asbestos Cloth and HH-T-41C on Asbes tos Rope, Packing Material and Military Specification MIL-I-3953 on Treated Untreated Asbestos-Fiber Electrical Insulation. The Technical Committee met briefly with the Fiber Research & Test ing Subcommittee primarily to discuss a proposed Round-Robin to correlate laboratory and test procedures. The two items to be studied are surface area tests and wet classification tests concerni fiber lengths. The Subcommittee has agreed to spearhead this pro ject toward establishing procedures for the Technical group to follow in interlaboratory testing. Respectfully-submitted, , .Carroll S.

T. Matthew, with representa tion from ten (10) member companies present. Those in attendance included: Amatex Corporation -- H. H. Walter Asberit S fk -- M. Cattaneo Asbestos Textil S.A. -- F. Ize Atlas Textile Company -- W. H. Johnston Lake Asbestos of Quebec Ltd. -- E. A. Farrell Nippon Asbestos Co.-Ltd. -- Y. Sato Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc. -- J; F. Maclachlan, R. T. Matthew, R. 0. Moebius, M. W. Oliver, M. Q. Scowcroft Southern Asbestos Company -- e. C. Bratt TEA Industrial Products Ltd. -- H. J. Corson Uniroyal, Inc. -- B. E. Carden Mr. Matthew explained that for this meeting he was acting as chair man for L. E. Moody who is recovering from a recent heart attack. The film, "Living With Dust" -- produced by 3M Company -- was shown and several members of other ATI committees sat in with the Environ mental group for the showing of the film. The Committee then discussed respirators for asbestos dust -- who was using what tjrpe and where and why. Some companies are using approved "single-use" respirators for up to one week while others are using "reusable" permanent-type respirators with the cleaning and sanitizing program required by the OSHA Asbestos Standard. Noohe indicated that they had had experience with approved "poweredair-purifying respirators' required for the higher dust concentra tions . The proposed new noise standard was discussed briefly because there appeared to be no new factual information as to when the "final"' revision of the proposed standard will be published or what it will contain. The proposed new asbestos standard was discussed but again no factual information was available. However, two opinions obtained from a Washington source were: (1) that the proposed standard would not be published in the Federal Register until late summer; and (2) that the format will be like the recent arsenic and ketone standards with an "action level"' (where certain requirements become mandatory) at about one half the allowable time-weighted average. PRODUCED JM -83 Attachment IV/page 1 of 2 MS 006513 MT-005918 Minutes-'ATI Environmental Committee - 6 '6/75 ATI-138 Members were asked about recent OSHA activity-plant visits, etc. The only activities reported were a visit to one plant and a tele phone call to another -- both to obtain information about their work practices and dust control procedures for receiving, storing and handling asbestos before processing. After discussion, the Committee approved the following resolutions to the ATI Board of Governors: (la) That the ATI advise OSHA through appropriate channels that, in the opinion of the membership of the Institute, an accurate B-hour, time-weighted average of fiber concentra tion can be obtained, only by the method detailed in (l) and (2) of the Minutes of this Committee's February 7, 1975, meeting. (lb) That OSHA Compliance Officers be instructed to follow this procedure when sampling for a time-weighted average. (lc) That a better definition, including a uniform practical sampling time, be obtained from OSHA for ceiling concentra- ' tion. (2) That the ATI, through its Technical Committee or the Fiber Research <1 Testing Subcommittee, make every effort to find a better method than the "membrane filter" method for mea suring airborne concentrations of asbestos fiber. The Committee discussed briefly the "special clothing," "change rooms" and "clothes lockers" section of 1910.93a (now 1910.1001). This discussion will be continued at the next meeting of the Commit tee . Members desiring discussion, interpretation or clarification of other sections of the Asbestos Standard should notify the Chairman, preferably in writing, well before the next meeting.

Markusson, Esq., Johns-Manville Corporation; at the ATI 1975 Spring Meeting held at Stouffer's Atlanta Inn, Atlanta, Georgia. As reported at earlier meetings, the Asbestos Textile Institute has filed motions in the United States District Court in Tyler, Texas, in the Yandle and Kay cases seeking to be dismissed from such law suits on the grounds that the court does not have any jurisdiction over ATI. The court has still not ruled on such motions. The court has established a schedule for discovery xvhereby the par ties by means of interrogatories and depositions can seek facts and documents relevant to the law suit. At the present time some of this discovery is being directed to jurisdictional questions as there are other defendants who, as ATI, feel they are not proper parties to the lav? suit. There is no particular timetable on this discovery and it is our present judgment that the court will not rule on-any jurisdictional questions, including ATI's motion to dismiss, until all jurisdictional discover}?- is completed. We remain confident that our contention that there is no jurisdic tion over ATI in these cases is well taken and will be favorably acted upon by the court when it is finally considered. From a procedural standpoint there is nothing more to be done on our motion to dismiss except wait for the court's ruling. Separate and apart from the formal motion to be dismissed as a party to the law suit the Institute through its Trial Counsel, Wendell L. Alcorn, Jr., has undertaken negotiations with plain tiff's counsel to be voluntarily dismissed as a party defendant in the pending lav? suits. Through Mr. Alcorn's efforts, there appears a strong likelihood that plaintiffs will consent to dismiss ATI as a party defendant. If this happens our formal motion to be dis missed becomes moot. In the area of discover}' on matters other than jurisdictional questions, depositions have been taken of Dr. Lee Grant, defendant Pittsburgh Corning Corporation's Medical Director, and Dr. William Johnson, formerly with the United States Public Health Service, who inspected the Tyler plant. These depositions are helpful to ATI as they indicate Pittsburgh Corning had full knowledge of the condi tions prevailing at the Tyler plant and was fully aware of the state of the medical art relative to exposure to asbestos fibers. There fore, anything ATI did or failed to do would become immaterial and not causally connected to any of the alleged injuries suffered by more PRODUCED Attachment V^page 1 of 2 006515 JM - 83 MT-005920 ATI Ad Hoc Committee Report - 6 '6 '75 ATI-138 the plaintiffs. In other words, these depositionshelp establishthat if there be any negligence on the part of ATI, which we deny, that there was intervening negligence by other defendants which exonerates ATI. ` At this point in time ATI has effectively established its juris dictional arguments and developed evidence favorable to it on.the merits by means of the Grant and Johnson depositions. Accordingly, there is little need for any formal activity in these cases by ATI at the present time. We will continue to maintain a low profile and monitor all activities. Mr. Alcorn will continue his negotia tions with plaintiff's counsel and his efforts to have ATI voluntarily dismissed as a party defendant. Your Ad Hoc Committee will continue to supervise and monitor this litigation and report to you any significant developments. At the present time I feel it is fair to report that everything is as well under control as can be expected, and Mr. Alcorn is to be commended on his efforts on the Institute's behalf. - end produced JM - 83 MS 006516 Attachment V/page 2 of 2 MT-005921 ATI-138 Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc.

Fagan MS 006542 .1 The October 1, 1975, Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asbestos Textile Institute was called to order at 3:00 p.m. by Chair man Kuzmuk. _.2 Upon presentation, it was moved by Mr. Morris and seconded by Mr. Scowcroft to dispense with the reading of the Minutes of the last stated Meeting and to accept them as written. The motion was approved, unanimously. 3^. In presenting the Report of Funds, Treasurer Scanlan advised that for the Fiscal Year from September 1, 1974, through August 31, 1975 (complete 11-page Report attached hereto), the Institute began with a more MT-005947 Page 2 ATI Board of Governors' Meeting ATI-138 10/1/75 cash balance of $14,051.44, received $53,045.38 and disbursed $45,413.68 -- leaving a cash balance on hand at 8/31/75 of $21,683.14, of which $13,083.93 is earmarked solely for the Litigation Defense Fund. . . . For the entire Fiscal Year, excluding matters pertaining to the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition, and to the Litigation Defense Fund, $11,020.44 had been expended against the $12,985.00 budgeted. . . . Figures to 8/31/75 concerning the Test Manual show that $21,536.78 received, less $22,609.53 spent, resulted in a net loss of $1,072.75 ($390.27 less than the loss reported as of 4/30/75). Treasurer Scanlan reported that the financial records of the Institute for F/Y 1974-75 as kept by the' Assistant Treasurer had been examined by Dreslin and Company, Certified Public Accountants, and had been found to present fairly the financial position of the Asbestos Textile Institute at 8/31/75 (see complete 6-page Report of the CPA attached hereto) . . It was moved by Mr. Scowcroft, seconded by Mr. Morris, and so carried, unanimously, to accept the Report as presented. . Chairman Kuzmuk reminded the Governors that in accordance with the Resolution they had passed on June 5, 1975, as of the effective date of the incorporation of the Institute, the unincorporated ATI would continue in existence for the sole purpose of defending its rights and interests in the Tyler Litigation and that all the usual business of the Association, except the defense of the Tyler Litigation, would be transferred to and henceforth continued by the Corporation. The incorporation of the Institute became effective on August 27, 1975. The only remaining item to be accomplished is the transferring of all monies (except the $13,083.93 in the Litigation Defense Fund) to the Corporation. This will be completed by the end of October 1975 after all necessary forms have been acquired and filed and Corporate savings and checking accounts have been established. 6. Since nothing of any great significance had happened in the two lawsuits pending in Tyler, Texas, insofar as ATI was concerned, there was no further business to be discussed by the Board of Governors except to note that by reason of this lack of activity the meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee (originally scheduled for October 1, 1975) had been cancelled. It should be borne in mind that the Ad Hoc Committee is the only working group of the unincorporated Institute and its sole responsibility is to discuss and keep abreast of the Tyler Litigation as it concerns this Institute. j>. Upon a motion by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Bratt, and so carried, the Meeting was adjourned at 3:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Doris M.

CALL TO ORDER: A call to order of the initial meeting of the Board of Governors of Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., was issued by the newly-appointed Chairman, A. Kuzmuk, at 3:30 p.m., October 1, 1975. 2. OPENING REMARKS RE ORGANIZATION MEETING: Chairman Kuzmuk confirmed that the Articles of Incorporation of the Institute were effected August 27, 1975, and that an Organization Meeting had been held immediately prior to this meeting at which By-Laws were adopted, Governors were appointed and Officers were duly elected. 3. FINANCIAL REPORT: In presenting a report on the financial status of the Corporation, Treasurer M. J. Scanlan advised that fiscal years would begin September 1 and end each ensuing August 31. As of August 31, 1975, a checking account and a savings were yet to be established and thus the Corporation held no actual cash funds although the Asbestos Textile Institute, as of that date, was holding the total sum of $8,599.21 which is earmarked for the Cor poration. 3a) Treasurer Scanlan then presented to the Board of Governors the Proposed Budget of the Corporation for Fiscal Year 1975-76 which indicated an expected income of $14,725.00 and an anticipated out flow of $12,970.00, leaving just $1755.00 for unexpected extra ordinary expenses. It was moved by E. C. Bratt, seconded by E. A. Morris, and unanimously approved, to accept the proposed budget as presented. The budget, as approved, is attached to these minutes as Attachment I. It was duly noted that the cost of office space will be $55.00 per month or $660.00 for the year and the gross wages of the Executive Secretary will be $250.00 per month or an annual sum of $3000.00. (The Secretary takes this opportunity to sincerely thank the Governors for their vote of confidence and avows to serve the Institute during the ensuing year to th* K--` of her ability.)

PROCEEDINGS OF "PARIS" CONFERENCE: The Secretary advised that ATI had, in its files, a copy of the Proceedings of the International Conference of Asbestos Associations and Asbestos Information Bod ies held in Paris, France, on November 28-29, 1974. It was further advised that the Institute had been requested to treat the content of the Proceedings as confidential material. ,, 6. ATI ANNUAL MEETING LUNCHEON PROGRAM: Chairman Kuzmuk reminded the Board that a special program was scheduled as part of the ATIhosted Reception and Luncheon to be held Friday, October 3. Replacing Dr. Dean D. Miller, National Director, would be Mr. Chick Waddell, Area Director of the Physical Fitness Institute of America. It was agreed that an honorarium in the amount of $175.00 would be presented to Mr. Waddell. 7. CONFLICTING DATES WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: It was reported by the Secretary that the following organizations had been contacted in an effort to avoid, when possible, the scheduling of ATI meetings that would conflict with other events that various ATI members might wish to attend. The ensuing list includes "dates of meetings" where known: American Industrial Hygiene Association -- May 16-21, 1976 May 22-27, 1977 May 7 -21, 1978 American Society for Testing & Materials -- Mar 15-19, 1976 Oct 18-22, 1976 .

HOUSE BILL HR5683 RE RELEASING STOCKPILED CHRYSOTILE: The Board was reminded that HR5683 had been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 8, 1975, by Representative Millicent Fenwick (5th District, N.J.). It was a request for a Congressional enactment authorizing the General Services Administration to release 9900 short tons of Chrysotile asbestos presently being held in the national stockpile. At the time of this meeting it was the Secretary's understanding that the Bill was still pending before the Armed Services Committee and that no action had been scheduled thus far. At the request of Representative E. G. Bies ter, Jr. (8th District, Pa.), the Secretary provided additional information as to the problems of obtaining asbestos on the open market. 9. COMMITTEE REPORTS & DISCUSSIONS: 9a) Technical - report by Chairman C. S. Barnwell, Uniroyal, Inc. -- The Committee is in the process of reviewing several Military and other government specifications to determine if it is advisa ble to up-date or rewrite them in any way. The Committee is also looking into the possible need for a specification especially for extruded-type yarns. 9b) Environmental - report by Chairman L. E. Moody, Southern Asbestos Company -- The subject to be discussed at the Committee session will be what techniques are being used around machinery to reduce the generation of asbestos dust into the air. Also, any member of the Committee will be given the opportunity to present for discussion a particular problem he is encountering in the work area. Mr. Scowcroft alerted the Board and Mr. Moody to the news he had just received that OSHA had proposed revisions to its Asbestos Standard which, among other changes, proposes to reduce ceiling concentrations to below those currently in effect and to become effective in July 1976. In view of this action and our lack of current information on the thrust and context of the proposal, it was agreed the Board would delay any follow-through on the resolutions submitted in June by the Environmental Committee until the Institute had chance to study and digest OSHA's newly-proposed revisions. The Committee's resolutions were concerned with certain sections of the current OSHA Asbestos Standard which may now be of little consequence or importance. 9c) Fiber Research & Testing - report by Chairman R. A. Kuntze, Ontario Research Foundation . (and Cassiar Asbestos .Corporation Ltd.) -- This Subcommittee does not have a specific project at the moment although it is contacting various manufacturing member companies to see if there are problem areas where the special expertise of the group could be helpful. The Subcommittee is still open to the possibility of studying alternative methods, other than the more MS 006577 MT-005982 ATI-138 Page 5 - ATI INC Board of Governors' Meeting - 10/1-2/75 membrane filter method, for the counting of asbestos fibers. Dr. Kuntze also relayed his recent findings in the fiber-producing phase of the industry -- that there still exists the inability to really measure the properties of a fiber, particularly with res pect to length and secondly to diameter. At the end of Dr. Kuntze's report. Chairman Kuzmuk advised of a communique received from the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association announcing the appointment by the Directors of QAMA of G. F. A. Brink as official representative of that Association on the ATI Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee. The move was made to maintain adequate liaison between QAMA and the ATI. QAMA expressed the wish to continue to cooperate as in past years in all matters of mutual interest to the two organizations. 10. APPOINTMENT OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Chairman Kuzmuk appointed Mr. Bratt as Chairman of the Nominating Committee, with the responsibility of preparing, for submission to the Board of Governors at its October 1976 meeting, a slate of Officers to be elected for the year to August 31, 1977. The Committee should also suggest new Chairmen of the various working Committees. Due to the lateness of the hour, it was moved by M. Q. Scowcroft, seconded by Mr. Scanlan, and so moved, to adjourn the meeting and reconvene the next morning. Chairman Kuzmuk recalled the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, October 2, 1975. 11. DUES SCHEDULE TO COINCIDE WITH END OF FISCAL YEARS: Following a discussion as to how to best avoid an overlapping of dues income with our financial years, it was moved by Mr. Scanlan, seconded by Mr. Bratt, and unanimously approved, to issue annual dues invoices on September 1, due as of that date, and to cover the yearly period to August 31. 12. BROADENING THE MEMBERSHIP BASE: A lengthy, complete and detailed discussion was held on the most productive approach to take toward broadening the- scope of the ATI in terms of strengthening the organization and at the same time recognizing that asbestos textile manufacturing has become an international industry. Con sequently, it was moved by Mr. Scowcroft, seconded by Mr. Bratt, and unanimously approved by the entire Board of Governors to amend, effective September 1, 1976, paragraphs 6, 6A and 6B of the Articles of Incorporation, as follows: more.......... MS 006578 MT -005983 ATI-138 . > Page 6 - ATI INC Board of Governors' Meeting - 10/1-2/75 "6. The Corporation shall have the following classes of Members: A. REGULAR MEMBERS. All individuals, partnerships and corporations, wherever located, engaged in the manufac ture of textiles out of raw asbestos fiber shall be eligible for Regular Membership in this Institute. B. ASSOCIATE MEMBERS. All individuals, partnerships and corporations, wherever located, which are substantially engaged in the mining and milling of raw asbestos spinning fiber, or those weavers of asbestos-containing fabrics and tapes, for resale as such, who do not manufacture the asbestos-containing yarns used in same, shall be eligible for Associate Membership in this Institute. > Associate Members shall not be entitled to any vote atmeetings of the Institute nor shall they be entitled to representation on the Board of Governors. In all other res pects they shall enjoy the same rights as Regular Members." 13. DUES STRUCTURE: The subject of a reasonable dues structure, repre sentative of the member companies in the ATI and realistic insofar as expenses are concerned, was brought before the Board for its consideration. After a serious and thoughtful discussion, the motion was made by Mr. Bratt, seconded by Mr. Scowcroft, and unanimously approved, that effective September 1, 1976, Section 6 of the By-Laws of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., shall read as follows: "SECTION 6--INITIATION FEES, DUES AND ASSESSMENTS. Each Regular Member of the Institute shall pay an initiation fee of $500.00 at the time he joins the Institute. Additional funds required for expenditures authorized by the Members and by the Board of Governors shall be collected by assessments from each Member on the following basis: General Assessments (Annual Dues). Annual operating funds of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., shall be obtained by direct assessments of all classes of Members on thefollowing scale -- Class A - Those Regular Members, wherever located, whose annual U.S. sales of asbestos textiles are valued at $2million or more; Class B - Those Regular Members, wherever located, whose annual U.S. sales of asbestos textiles are less than $2- million; . more..........

Effective September 1, 1976, the rates of Annual Dues payments will be: Class A--$1500.00; Class B--$1000.00; Class C--$750.00. Special assessments on Regular Members, if and when deemed necessary by a majority vote of the entire Board of Governors, shall be a uniform percentage of the amount of Annual Dues then in effect for each such Member. Associate Members shall not pay any initiation fee nor be liable for any special assessment." 14. DOCUMENT RETENTION PROGRAM: The Secretary reviewed with the Board a Document Retention Program to be established for ATI. The proposed schedule is appended to these Minutes as Attachment II. The Secretary, when instructed to proceed with the schedule, will set up the files in accordance with the attached Program. 15. FUTURE MEETING SITES AND DATES: With a view toward holding the two-day work meetings of ATI at a central location that has ease of access by air transport, it was moved by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Scowcroft, and unanimously agreed to hold the February and June meetings each year in the Washington, D.C., area -- but to schedule Annual Meetings at resort-type locations. Consequently, the following meeting schedule has been established: 1976 Feb 5-6 -- Sheraton National Motor Hotel, Arlington, Va. 1976 Jun 3-4 -- Twin Bridges Marriott, Arlington, Va. 1976 Oct 6-8 -- Savannah Inn & Country Club, Savannah, Ga. 1977 Feb 3-4 -- Key Bridge Marriott, Arlington, Va. 1977 Jun 2-3 -- Key Bridge Marriott, Arlington, Va. *1977 Oct 5-7 -- Open Information will be gathered on the three suggested meetings sites for the 1977 Annual Meeting and a final decision will be rendered by the Board at its next meeting on February 5, 1976.

HOUSE BILL HR9505 RE CREATION OF A COMMISSION ON UNEMPLOYMENT CAUSED BY THE DISPERSION OF HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIES: Chairman Kuzmuk alerted the Governors to House Bill HR9505 which was introduced on September 10, 1975, by Representative D. V. Daniels (Dem., N.J.). Mr. Daniels suggests the creation of a Commission on Unemployment Caused by the Dispersion of Hazardous Industries. In his comments he referred to "evidence that indicates that certain U.S. indus tries are relocating their industrial and manufacturing processes abroad in an attempt to circumvent the intent of Congress and avoid compliance with U.S. occupational safety and health laws." He. further stated that this situation "has deprived American wor kers of jobs and has had an unsettling effect upon our economy." Specifically cited as an example was a steep increase in U.S. imports of asbestos textiles. The Bill has been referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. It was agreed that each perti nent member company of ATI should keep abreast of HR9505 to see if it ever comes out of Committee. On behalf of the ATI, the Secretary will keep in close contact with the Asbestos Information Association/North America, taking advantage of that Association's information sources as a means of keeping apprised of the Bill and of any action that AIA/NA may take in this connection. 18. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to be brought before the Board of Governors of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., a motion for adjournment was made by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Bratt, and so moved unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 11:00 s, in Respectfully submitted.

MT-005995 ATI-138 Page 2 -- ATI, INC., 1975 Annual Meeting -- 10/3/75 1. The 1975 Annual General Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., was called to order by President A. Xuzmuk at 8:30 a.m., October 3, 1975, at the Tennis Center, Racquet Park, Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida. 2. President Xuzmuk emphasized that the Institute is now incorporated as of August 27, 1975. An Organizational Meeting was held on October 1st during which the following Officers were elected to serve the Cor poration for the ensuing year to August 31, 1976: President--Alex. Xuzmuk, of Garlock Inc.; Vice. President--Edward A. Morris, of Uniroyal, Inc.; and Treasurer--Michael J. Scanlan, of Amatex Corporation. 3.. President Xuzmuk announced the Eoard of Governors had decided to schedule the dues billings to coincide with the beginning of each fiscal year rather than with the start of the calendar year. Conse quently, annual dues for the Fiscal Year ended August 31, 1976, will be issued shortly and will be due as of September 1 of this year. It is recognized this is an accelerated schedule but it is a one-time acceleration. This will permit annual meetings and fiscal years to end at approximately the same time. 4. President Xuzmuk welcomed all members and guests to the meeting and especially welcomed a new representative--Robert A. Pilmer, Pres ident of Garlock of Canada Ltd. Each member then rose and gave his name and company affiliation. The entire list of delegates appears on the first page of these Minutes. jjM In the absence of Treasurer Scanlan, a report on the financial status of the new Corporation was presented by Vice President Morris. It was noted that as of August 31, 1975, $8,599.21 was being held by the unincorporated organization for transfer at a later date to the Corporation. Mr, Morris also advised that an annual budget for the Corporation for the Fiscal Year to August 31, 1976, had been set by the Eoard of Governors which shows an anticipated income of -314,725.00 and an expected total expenditure of $12,970.00, leaving an estimated figure of $1,755.00 as income o-ver expenses. 6. The Fiber Producers' Report was presented bv VJalter H. Smith, who recently was promoted to Sales Manager for Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. Mr. Smith briefly discussed the strike of asbestos miners in Quebec. See Attachment I for Mr. Smith's report in its entirety. 2. Technical Committee Chairman C. S. Barnwell reported on the acti vities of his working group. The Committee reviewed various Military and other government standards to determine if changes were in order. At the request of Mr. Paul Nicodemus, ASTM liaison, the Committee discussed the possible rewording of certain sections of ASTM U-lil8r72 which covers the magnetic rating of asbestos fibers and textile pro ducts. Some changes have been made and it is felt the Specification is now ready for submission to ASTM. See Attachment II for the com plete Technical Committee Report. more MS 006591 MT-005996 Page 3 -- ATI, Inc., 1975 Annual Meeting ATI-138 10/3/75 8. In the absence of Chairman R. A. Kuntze, a report on the activi ties of the Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee was given by C. E. Stiefken. At the request of the Environmental Committee of ATI, Inc., a project has been undertaken to possibly develop a dust count measurement procedure instead of the filter membrane method. Concerning the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition, G. F. A. Brink has been designated as the Test Manual liaison between the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association and the ATI. Any requests for changes should be directed to the Chairman of the ATI Fiber Re search & Testing group for submission to Mr. Erink. See Attachment III for the complete Committee Report. 2* Environmental Committee Chairman L. E. Moody advised the Commit tee would ask the Eoard of Governors to temporarily suspend any action on the resolutions sent by the Committee following the June ' 1975 meeting. This decision was based on the news that OSHA is about to prepare a proposed revision to the Asbestos Standard and the proposals may have bearing on the Committee's resolutions. . The Committee spent the bulk of its time discussing t^rpes of en closures and means of exhaust to dust collection equipment; noise control; reduction of airborne asbestos fiber; and labeling. Regarding governmental labeling requirements, the Committee sug gested that manufacturers should label all products and that direc tions for the safe use and handling of each product should be includ ed in the shipping package. It was also felt that "work practice" suggestions should be sent to customers' management locations in the interest of promoting safe handling methods. The Eoard was asked to assign a committee to define products and end uses, to assist in de riving "work practice" data. See Attachment IV for the complete Environmental Committee Re port. - Ms 006SQ2 MT-005997 Pase 4 < 1 ATI, Inc., 1975 Annual Meeting ATI-138 10/3 '75 12. In line with the above amendment, the By-Laws of the Corporation will be amended as of September 1, 1976, to provide for a new dues schedule which is felt will meet the new membership description, i.e.: the dues for Regular Members whose U.S. sales are valued annually at $2-million or more will be $1500.GO per year; the dues for Regular Members whose U.S. sales are valued annually at less than $2-million will be $1000.00 per year; and the dues for all As sociate Members will be $750.00 per year. 13. As a result of a discussion by the Eoard of Governors as to how our two-day work meetings held in February and June each year could be the most productive and effective, it was-decided that the sites for the two meetings should not be scattered, geographically, but should be located where ease of access and cost were compatible with what we are trying to accomplish. It was agreed that the Washington, D.C., area would be suitable. Consequently, the loca tion of the Winter Meeting will be changed from New Orleans to the Sheraton National Motor Hotel, Columbia Pike & Washington Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia (3 minutes from the National Airport). The meet ing will be held February 5-6, 1976. The Spring Meeting scheduled for June 3-4, 1976, at the Twin Bridges Marriott, Arlington, Virginia, will continue as previously set up. The three-day Annual Meetings will remain at the more attrac tive spots including the scheduled event at the Savannah Inn & Country Club, Savannah, Georgia, October 6-8, 1976. 14. President Kuzmuk reminded the members that following the Annual General Meeting the3r were cordially invited to attend the ATI-hosted formal reception and luncheon which will include a presentation by guest speaker -- Mr. Chick Waddell, Area Director, Physical Fitness Institute of America. (Please see the Note at the end of these Min utes for the addresses of Mr. Waddell and of the national headquart ers for the Physical Fitness Institute.) more MS 006593 MT-005998 ATI-138 Page 5 -- ATI, Inc., 1975 Annual Meeting -- 10/3/75 15. There being no further business to be brought before the member ship, it was moved by P. E. Leclerc, seconded by S. G. Dixit, that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was carried unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Doris M.

Smith, Sales Manager, Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. at the 1975 Annual Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida - October 3, 1975. In his opening remarks, Mr. Smith advised he would be presenting a few comments that he believed would be of interesf-to the members of ATI but since he was not a member of the Committee, nor had the Committee met recently, his remarks were not to be construed as the official Fiber Producers' Report. THE STRIKE MS 006595 Unfortunately, the strike in Thetford Mines is now in its seventh month, and we do not see any signs of an early settlement. 3500 miners are affected by the strike, and four producing companies. The principal issue is wages. Our main concern in granting large wage increases would be the effect on fiber prices. We have no desire to price ourselves out of business. The miner must earn a decent wage, and you have to sell your products. The answers are not simple. In reply to a query from the floor, Mr. Smith said it would not be too difficult to have the mills in operation within 24 hours after return to work. Some freezing problems might be encountered if the start-up occurred in the cold winter months, but nothing would be drastic or insurmountable. We should be able to get into production almost overnight*,- Also, shipments from the warehouse stocks could be made immediately. The health issue was a very strong point during the first month or two of the strike, mainly as a result of a visit to the mines by Dr. Selikoff who made some alarming statements which he assets can be supported by scientific, medical evidence. To date, no-one has disproved or proven his comments. The Provincial government has recently passed' legislation, diminishing the impact of the health issue insoi'ar as strike negotiations are concerned. It would appear that all concerned are aware of the problems with dust control and other health and safety matters -- of what can be done and of what will have to be done. However, they cannot be miraculously solved overnight. It will take years to accomplish the desired results and the companies are committed to spending the money and the time necessary to develop the technology needed to achieve these results. So, although the health aspect is not an insurmountable problem in settling the strike, it may become an important issue after the employees are back to work. more MT-006000 Attachment I/page 1 of 2 Fiber Producers' Report - 10/3/75 ATI-138 THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION There has been a recession throughout the world in the asbestos tex tile industry, and the availability of Cassiar and African spinning fibers has seemingly sufficed to keep most manufacturers in operation. When you realize the thousands of tons of spinning fiber that are not currently coming out of Thetford, it seems evident that were it not for the strike an over-supply situation in "spinnings" would now exist in Quebec. This does not mean, of course, that the strike is welcomed. Both the workers and the companies are suffering. In the area of asbestos cement fibers, the recession has hit this segment of the business although not to as great an extent as the asbestos textile industry. Canadian Johns-Manville is annually producing at about full capacity -- around 600,000 tons-of fiber. In addition, 200,000 tons are being produced at Cassiar, and fiber is available from Rhodesia and from the Republic of South Africa. Most of the asbestos cement people in the United States are still holding to the required schedule but in some parts of Africa and Europe there is a demand that is exceeding the supply of the asbestos cement fiber grades. Since the construction industry is also down, those involved in the roofing and floor tile business are not having the massive problems that were anticipated to occur because of the strike. Some users are obtaining asbestos fiber from the USSR and, although official figures are not at hand, it has been mentioned that as much as 10,000 tons of Russian fiber have entered the U.S. alone. Brake lining people who had thought it was impossible to use, have used it. Italian fiber is also being imported into the U.S. Undoubtedly many consumers are managing, although some are suffering because of the shortage of Quebec fiber. MS 006596 (Secretary's Note: As this Report is being prepared, news has just arrived that the strike has been-settled and the workers are back on the job as of Monday, October 20, 1975.)

Childers There were several Standards which were reviewed for possible changes in wording to insure they reflected the current thinking. They in clude : HH-T-17&2--Asbestos Tape -- No action required. SS-C-17&3--Asbestos Cloth -- No action required. I'HL-I-3053--Treated & Untreated AsbestosFiber Insulation -- No action required. HH-P-41C--Asbestos Rope, Packing Material -- No tolerances are posted on the footage of this Specification. Mr. Hawkins has been requested to assume the responsi bility of contracting the Custodian of Standards to request a 10$ tolerance on this point. MEL-I-15349-C--Insulation Tape, Thermal -- This Specification was .added to the original list above and items of weights and tolerances are to be studied by the Committee and discussed at the next meeting. ASTM D-1118-72--Magnetic Rating of Asbestos Fiber and Textile Products -- Several sections of this Standard were reworded to clarify the number of samples required and the methods of obtaining and preparing samples for the Test. . . . The rewritten sections have been submitted to ASTM. A question was submitted to the ATI Technical Committee as to whether or not separate Standards are necessary to cover extrudedtype yarns. The general consensus of opinion was that such standards are not needed at this point in time since there are existing Stand ards that can be applied when working with extruded-type yarns.

Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida October 2, 1975 Committee Members present: R. A. Kuntze, Chairman -- Cassiar Asbes tos Corporation Ltd./Ontario Research Foundation G. F. A. Brink -- Asbestos Corp. Ltd. D. E. Childers -- Southern Asbestos Co. W. H. Smith -- Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. C. E. Stiefken -- Asarco Incorporated The Environmental Committee has requested that the Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee do work on a new dust count measurement proce dure in place of the Filter Membrane Method. The Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee has decided to start its work on a round-robin program of counting using the current standard method. This is to determine the magnitude of counting error, if any, among the laboratories within the group. To this end, Dewey Childers will, prepare four slides to represent ''high to low'' stand ards of dust collection specimens and submit them to those labora tories having counting equipment. A statistical study on the results will then be made. The Test Manual group has been informed that the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association has organized a Corrections Committee to deal with any and all current corrections or additions required to be worked on and incorporated in the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition. Gay Brink is the liaison between the QAMA and the ATI. Any requests for changes to be made in the latest Test Manual should be directed to the Chairman of the Fiber Research & Testing Subcom mittee for submittal to Mr. Brink. Respectfully submitted, C.

Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida October 2, 1975 The Environmental Committee meeting at Amelia Island Plantation was attended by the twelve members listed at the end of this Report. Discussions were as follows: The Committee was advised that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration had prepared a proposed revision to the Asbes tos Standard (29 CFR 1910.1001) and that the proposal would limit the exposure to airborne asbestos fiber at 0.5 fiber per cubic cen timeter. The Committee had no other information concerning the new proposed Standard. It xvas, therefore , decided to wait until all members could become more knowledgeable on the entire new proposal before going into an in-depth discussion. All members agreed to be prepared for a complete review at the next meeting in February 1976. The Committee decided to request that the Board of Governors "hold" any action concerning the resolutions the Environmental Committee had sent to the Board following the June 1975 meeting. The new pro posed Standard will have a bearing on the resolutions. The Committee spent considerable time in discussion of the types of enclosures and means of exhaust to dust collection equipment that had been successful in controlling airborne asbestos fiber. In par ticular, the Committee members were most interested in areas where control success had been gained in "Preparation" and "Carding." Committee members also advised of some success in noise control by coating the inside of machine enclosures with a spray-on coating similar to that used to undercoat automobiles. One Committee member advised of some success in airborne fiber reduc tion by "over-running" exhaust to dust collection equipment for a period of approximately two hours after production machinery had been shut-down. The member had dust samplings made on a comparison basis of: (a) Simply shutting down the plant machinery and dust col lection equipment and then taking a time series of dust sampling without air movement; (b) Shutting down the production machinery only, allowing air exhaust, including filtration, and then taking the same time series of dust sampling. The continued run of exhaust and air filtration reduced the airborne dust. The in-plant environment was then more suitable to the ensu ing restart of production. MS 006599 Attachment IV/nage 1 of 2 MT-006004 . itinutes/ATI Environmental Committee - IQ'7. ^15 ATI-138 Another Committee member advised of some success in overhead clean ing using vacuum methods in place of the old standard method of ''blow-down. " Another member advised of the practice of labeling all items con taining asbestos fiber, without regard to the fact that the fiber may be coated, chemically or mechanically, and locked into the fin ished product. This member also, stated that where possible a proper method of handling and use description was included. There was con siderable discussion on labeling and the inclusion of a ''work practice" description with finished goods being shipped. It was resolved by the Committee to advise the Board of Governors that health and safety labels on all products should be considered, and also the inclusion with shipments of work practice information. The Committee advised the Board to assign a committee to study pro ducts and end uses from the viewpoint of labeling needs. At that point, the Environmental Committee would be available to consider the subject of appropriate ''work practice" information. The Com mittee further suggests sending work practice information to the Management of customers in addition to sending it with shipments. A Committee member described a manner of noise control in a -Braiding operation where the machinery is enclosed in a room and the operator remains outside. The operator enters only to attend to machine needs and wears ear protection when in the room. IN ATTENDANCE: L. E. Moody (Chairman) -- Southern Asbestos Company Amatex Corporation -- H. H.

In addition, a copy of the Position Paper will be distributed to each member company of the ATI who is a U.S. manufacturer of asbestos textile products -- in an effort to supply each firm with material which may be helpful when preparing comments for presentation to the U.S. Department of Labor on an individual company basis. 'V 8. It was unanimously agree that ATI will make a general statement to OSHA by the December 8, 1975, deadline and then issue more definitive data and paragraph-by-paragraph objections at the public hearing which is expected to be scheduled for sometime in'1976. It deemed advisable, additional comments would be filed within 30-60 days after the public hearing since the record is not officially closed until that time. ' 9. Individual companies are urged'to express to OSHA their comments to the Proposal by December 8, 1975, and at the time of public hear ing. They are also urged-to make their asbestos textile customers aware of the Proposal and its time frame and to suggest that they participate. OSHA especially wants to hear from the smaller compan ies as to how the Revisions would have impact on them, economically. 10. As an auxiliary method, it may be beneficial for individual com panies and their customers to voice to their Congressmen what they believe will be the economic impact of the Standard on their busi nesses and on the communities in which they operate if the Revisions were to come into effect. Perhaps it would also be important to mention that at this point in time there is no known substitute material for asbestos in many vital applications. One further note -- When issuing comments to Congressmen, they should be couched in political language.11 11. Following adjournment of the Special Meeting at 3:30 p.m., the Board of Governors of Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., held a brief meeting to discuss the response of ATI with respect to the Proposed Revision of the OSHA Standard. It was unanimously decided to esta blish a sub-group within the ATI Environmental Committee, specifi cally charged with the responsibility of gathering definitive data that will analytically describe each step in every process being used to manufacture various asbestos textile products -- pointing out the unique differences of each step and the peculiar problems each indi vidual operation would encounter in meeting the Proposed Standard for exposure to airborne asbestos dust.

Kuzmuk at 8:30 a.m. , October 3, 1975, at the Tennis Center, Racquet Park, Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida. - 2. President Kuzmuk emphasized that the Institute is now incorporated as of August 27, 1975. An Organizational Meeting was held on October 1st during which the following Officers were elected to serve the Cor poration for the ensuing year to August 31, 1976: President--Alex. Kuzmuk, of Gar lock Inc.; Vice President--Edward A. Morris, of Uniroyal, Inc.; and Treasurer--Michael J. Scanlan, of Amatex Corporation. 2.. President Kuzmuk announced the Eoard of Governors had decided to schedule the dues billings to coincide with the beginning of each fiscal year rather than with the start of the calendar year. Conse quently, annual dues for the Fiscal Year ended August 31, 1976, will be issued shortly and will be due as of September 1 of this year. It is recognized this is an accelerated schedule but it is a one-time acceleration. This will permit annual meetings and fiscal years to end at approximately the same time. ' A. President Kuzmuk welcomed all members and guests to the meeting and especially welcomed a new representative--Robert A. Pilmer, Pres ident of Garlock of Canada Ltd. Each member then rose and gave his name and company affiliation. The entire list of delegates appears on the first page of these Minutes. . In the absence of Treasurer Scanlan, a report on the financial status,of the new Corporation was-presented by Vice President Morris. It was noted that as of August 31, 1975, $8,599.21 was being held by the unincorporated organization for transfer at a later date to the Corporation. Mr, Morris also advised that an annual budget for the Corporation for the Fiscal Year to August 31, 1976, had been set by the'Eoard of Governors which shows an anticipated income of $14,725.00 and an expected total expenditure of $12,970.00, leaving an estimated figure of $1,755.00 as income over expenses. 6_. The Fiber ProducersT Report was presented by Walter H. Smith, who recently was promoted to Sales Manager for Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. Mr. Smith briefly discussed the strike of asbestos miners in Quebec. See Attachment I for Mr. Smith's report in its entirety. 2.. Technical Committee Chairman C. S. Barnwell reported on the acti vities of his working group. The Committee reviewed various Military and other government standards to determine if changes were in order. At the request of Mr. Paul Uicodemus, ASTM liaison, the Committee discussed the possible rewording of certain sections of ASTM B-1118r72 which covers the magnetic rating of asbestos fibers and textile pro ducts. Some changes have been made and it is felt the Specification is now ready for submission to ASTM.

In the absence of Chairman R. A. ICuntze, a report on the activi ties of the Fiber Research & Testing Subcommittee was given by C. S. Stiefken. At the request of the Environmental Committee of ATI, Inc., a project has been undertaken to possibly develop a dust count measurement procedure instead of the filter membrane method. Concerning the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition, G. F. A. Brink has been designated as the Test Manual liaison between the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association and the ATI. Any requests for changes should be directed to the Chairman of the ATI Fiber Re search & Testing group for submission to Mr. Brink. See Attachment III for the complete Committee Report. . . Environmental Committee Chairman L. E. Moody advised the Commit tee would ask the Board of Governors to temporarily suspend any action on the resolutions sent by the Committee following the June 1975 meeting. This decision was based on the news that OSHA is about to prepare a proposed revision to the Asbestos Standard and the proposals may have bearing on the Committee's resolutions. The Committee spent the bulk of its time discussing types of en closures and means of exhaust to dust collection equipment; noise control; reduction of airborne asbestos fiber; and labeling. Regarding governmental labeling requirements, the Committee sug gested that manufacturers should label all products and that direc tions for the safe use and handling of each product should be includ ed in the shipping package. It was also felt that ''work practice" suggestions should be sent to customers' management locations in the interest of promoting safe handling methods. The Board was asked to assign a committee to define products and end uses, to assist in de riving ''work practice" data. See Attachment IY for the complete Environmental Committee Re port. 10. In presenting Remarks of Legal Counsel, . B. Alcorn, Jr., Esa., of Cadwalader, Wickersham <k Taft, stated that the incorporation of the Institute is a very significant step for the organization, one reason being that it insulates the members of the Corporation from possible liability for future actions taken by the Corporation. Also discussed was the general question of environmental devel opments, with particular emphasis on the new proposed 03KA Asbestos Standard. Attorney Alcorn stressed that asbestos companies should carefully analyze the proposed Standard, see how it agrees with or differs from the existing Standard, and then prepare to present to the U.S. Department of Labor, at the public hearings which must by law follow, the practical effect of a change in the existing Stand ard. The presentations should not only be addressed to the proposed Standard but also to what happens in July 1976 when the "2 fiber" limitation will go into effect. This should be looked upon as an opportunity to address the current Standard in the context of the hearings on the-proposed Standard. In addition, Legal Counsel addressed the problems encountered as a result of the recession in the business cycle, the litigation be ing faced by companies, and the consequences of governmental health and safety regulations.

President Kuzmuk announced the important decision of the Eoard of Governors concerning a broadening of the scope of membership in ATI, Inc. Legal Counsel has been directed to amend the Articles of Incorporation as of September 1, 1976, to encompass the following two membership classifications: Regular Membership will be open to all individuals, partnerships and corporations, wherever located, engaged in the manufacture of textiles out of raw asbestos fiber; -Associate Membership will be available to all individuals, partner ships and corporations, wherever located, which are substantially engaged in the mining and milling of raw asbestos spinning fiber or those weavers of asbestos-containing fabrics and tapes, for-resale as such, who do not manufacture the asbestos-containing yarns used in same. Opening the Regular Membership to operations outside of the United States recognizes that the asbestos textile industry has become an international industry. The amendment invites all eligi ble Regular Members, wherever located, to sit at the Board of Gover nors* table and become a part of the governing body of the Corpora tion. This will permit many former Associate Members to become voting members of the Institute and participate more effectively in its activities. 12. In line with the above amendment, the By-Laws of the Corporation will be amended as of September 1, 1976, to provide for a new dues schedule which is felt will meet the new membership description, i._e.: the dues for Regular Members whose U.S. sales are valued annually at $2-million or more will be $1500.00 per year; the dues for Regular Members whose U.S. sales are valued annually at less than $2-million will be 31000.00 per year; and the dues for all As sociate Members will be $750.00 per year. 13. As a result of a discussion by the Eoard of Governors as to how our two-day work meetings held in February and June each year could be the most productive and effective, it was-decided that the sites for the two meetings should not be scattered, geographically, but should be located where ease of access and cost were compatible with what we aretrying to accomplish. It was agreed that the Washington, D.C., area would be suitable. Consequently, the loca tion of the Winter Meeting will be changed from New Orleans to the Sheraton National Motor Hotel, Columbia Pike & Washington Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia (5 minutes from the National Airport). The meet ing will be held February 5-6, 1976. The Spring Meeting scheduled-for June 3-4, 1976, at the Twin Bridges Marriott, Arlington, Virginia, will continue as previously set up. The three-day Annual Meetings will remain at the more attrac tive spots including the scheduled event at the Savannah Inn & Country Club, Savannah, Georgia, October- 6-8, 1976. 14. President Kuzmuk reminded the members that following the. Annual General Meeting the]?- were cordially invited to attend the ATI-hosted formal reception and luncheon which will include a presentation by guest speaker -- Mr. Chick Waddell, Area Director, Physical Fitness Institute of America.

Smith, Sales Manager, Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. at the 1975 Annual Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, Inc., Amelia Island Plantation, Amelia Island, Florida - October 3, 1975. In his opening remarks, Mr. Smith advised he would be presenting a few comments that he believed would be of interest-to the members of ATI but since he was not a member of the Committee, nor had the Committee met recently, his remarks were not to be construed as the official Fiber Producers' Report:; - THE STRIKE MT-006018 Unfortunately, the strike in Thetford Mines is now in its seventh month, and we do not see any signs of an early settlement. 3500 miners are affected by the strike, and four producing companies. The principal issue is wages. Our main concern in granting large wage increases would be the effect on fiber prices. We have no desire to price ourselves out of business. The miner must earn a decent wage, and you have to sell your products. The answers are not simple. In reply to a query from the floor, Mr. Smith said it would not be too difiicult to have the mills in operation within 24 hours after return to work. Some freezing problems might be encountered if the start-up occurred in the cold winter months, but nothing would be drastic or insurmountable. We should be able to get into production almost overnights- Also, shipments from the warehouse stocks could be made immediately. i t The health issue was a very strong point during the first month or two of the strike, mainly as a result of a visit to the mines by Dr. Selikoff who made some alarming statements which he-assets can be supported by scientific, medical evidence. To date, no-one has disproved or proven his comments. The Provincial government has recently passed legislation, diminishing the impact of the health issue insofar as strike negotiations are concerned. It would appear that all concerned are aware of the problems with dust control and other health and safety matters -- of what can be done and of what will have to be done. However, they cannot be miraculously solved overnight. It will take years to accomplish the desired results and the companies are committed to spending the money and the time necessary to develop the technology needed to achieve these results. So, although the health aspect is not an insurmountable problem in settling the strike, it may become an important issue after the employees are back to work. MS 006613 more. JM -83 Attachment I/page 1 of 2 Fiber Producers' Report - 10/3/75 ATI-138 THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION There has been a recession throughout the world in the asbestos tex tile industry, and the availability of Cassiar and African spinning fibers has seemingly sufficed to keep most manufacturers in operation When you realize the thousands of tons of spinning fiber that are not currently coming out of Thetford, it seems evident that were it not for the strike an over-supply situation in ,,spinnings,f would now exist in Quebec. This does not mean, of course, that the strike is welcomed. Both the workers and the companies are suffering. ' In the area of asbestos cement fibers, the recession has hit this segment of the business although not to as great an extent as the asbestos textile industry. Canadian Johns-Manvilie is annually producing at about full capacity -- around 600,000 tons-of fiber. In addition, 200,000 tons are being produced at Cassiar, and fiber is available from Rhodesia and from the Republic of South Africa. Most of the asbestos cement people in the United States are still holding to the required schedule but in some parts of Africa and Europe there is a demand that is exceeding the supply of the asbestos cement fiber grades. ' Since the construction industry is also down, those involved in the roofing and floor tile business are not having the massive problems that were anticipated to occur because of the strike. Some users are obtaining asbestos fiber from the USSR and, although official figures are not at hand, it has been mentioned that as much as 10,000 tons of Russian fiber have entered the U.S. alone. Brake lining people who had thought it was impossible to use, have used it. Italian fiber is also being imported into the U.S. Undoubtedly many consumers are managing, although some are suffering because of the shortage of Quebec fiber. MS 006614 (Secretary's Mote: As this Report is being prepared, news has just arrived that the strike has been-settled and the workers are back on the job as of Monday, October 20, 1975.)

Leclerc, Sales Director, Asbestos CorporationLtd., at the 1975 Spring Meeting of the Asbestos Textile Institute, held at Stouffer's Atlanta Inn, Atlanta, Georgia -- June 6, 1975. Because of the asbestos workers'strike which has been in effect since 12:01 a.m., March 17, 1975, Canadian Johns-Manville Co. Ltd. is the sole asbestos mining company operating in the Eastern Townships of the Province of Quebec. This means that the only firms^currently producing asbestos in the whole of Canada are C.J-M at Asbestos, Quebec; Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd. at Cassiar, British Columbia, and at Clinton Creek, Yukon Territory; and Advocate Mines Ltd., at Baie Verte, Newfoundland. Statistically, for the first four months of 1975 overall tonnages (shipments) were down 37.75$. A categorical breakdown for the same period shows a decrease of 4-4.45$ for Group 3 and-increases of 11.35$ for Group 6 and 205$ for Group 7. Group 3 fibers, of course, do not include strictly asbestos textile fibers as much of the product from that Group is not suited to textiles but is exported around . the world for use in the manufacture of asbestos-cement pipe. Asbestos Corporation's mine at Ungava, Quebec, is operating and is expected this year-to ship enough concentrate to its processing plant at Mordenham, West-Germany, to produce over 100,000 metric tons of Group 4 asbestos, specially designed for the asbestos-cement industry. There appears to be no rush on the part of the idle workers to set tle the strike. They are back to their original wage demands which exceed those granted by C.J-M to its workers. There are two unions in Thetford and they have made what is known as a common front. Signs of an early settlement are not evident and there is presently no way of knowing how long the strike will last. The outcome of meetings and discussions to date between the companies and the unions are not encouraging. The strike has not only stopped produc tion at the mines in Thetford, it also is preventing shipments of any kind as the warehouses are on the mine properties and the companies are not permitted into or out of the storage facilities.

The Fiber Research k Testing Subcommittee has decided to start its work on a round-robin program of counting using the current standard method. This is to determine the magnitude of counting error, if any, among the laboratories within the group. To this end, Dewey Childers will prepare four slides to represent "high to low" stand ards of dust collection specimens and submit them to those labora tories having counting equipment. A statistical study on the results will then be made. The Test Manual group has been informed that the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association has organized a Corrections Committee to deal with any and all current corrections or additions required to be worked on and incorporated in the Chrysotile Asbestos Test Manual, 3rd edition.

After complete discussion the matter was deemed sufficiently complex to warrant a greater-detailed study before reaching a firm decision. The Committee received statistical data complete enough to make the following ASTM Specifications ready for acceptance: D-315 on Woven Asbestos Tape, D-1571 on Woven Asbestos Cloth and D-62S on Asbestos Tubular Sleeving. . . . Several questions of an editorial nature concerning ASTM Specification D-lllS on Magnetic Rating of Asbestos Fiber and Textile Products were discussed and acted upon.

Discussions were as follows: MS 006619 The Committee was advised that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration had prepared a proposed revision to the Asbes tos Standard (29 CFR 1910.1001) and that the proposal would limit the exposure to airborne asbestos fiber at 0.5 fiber per cubic cen timeter. The Committee had no other information concerning the new proposed Standard. It was, therefore , decided to wait until all members could become more knowledgeable on the entire new proposal before going into an in-depth discussion. All members agreed to be prepared for a complete review at the next meeting in February 1976. The Committee decided to request that the Board of Governors "hold" any action concerning the resolutions the Environmental Committee had sent to the Board following the June 1975 meeting. The new pro posed Standard will have a bearing on the resolutions. The Committee spent considerable time in discussion of the types of enclosures and means of exhaust to dust collection equipment that had been successful in controlling airborne asbestos fiber. In par ticular, the Committee members were most interested in areas where control success had been gained in ''Preparation11 and ''Carding." Committee members also advised of some success in noise control by coating the inside of machine enclosures with a spray-on coating similar to that used to undercoat automobiles. One Committee member advised of some success in airborne fiber reduc tion by "over-running" exhaust to dust collection equipment for a period of approximately two hours after production machinery had been shut-down. The member had dust samplings made on a comparison basis of: (a) Simply shutting down the plant machinery and dust col lection equipment and then taking a time series of dust sampling without air movement; (b) Shutting down the production machinery only, allowing air exhaust, including filtration, and then taking the same time series of dust sampling. The continued run of exhaust and air filtration reduced the airborne dust. The in-plant environment was then more suitable to the ensu ing restart of production.

ATI-138 Another Committee member advised of some success in overhead clean ing using vacuum methods in place of the old standard method of "blow-down.n Another member advised of the practice of labeling all items con taining asbestos fiber, without-regard to the fact that the fiber may be coated, chemically or mechanically, and locked into the fin ished product. This member also stated that where possible a proper method of handling and use description was included. There was con siderable discussion on labeling and the inclusion of a "work practice" description with finished goods being shipped. It was resolved by the Committee to advise the Board of Governors that health and safety labels on all products should be considered, and also the inclusion with shipments of work practice information. The Committee advised the Board to assign a committee to study pro ducts and end uses from the viewpoint of labeling needs. At that point, the Environmental Committee would be available to consider the subject of appropriate "work practice" information. The Com mittee further suggests sending work practice information to the Management of customers in addition to sending it with shipments. A Committee member described a manner of noise control in a 'Braiding operation where the machinery is enclosed in a room and the operator remains outside. The operator enters only to attend to machine needs and wears ear protection when in the room. _____ MS 006620 IN ATTENDANCE: L. E.
