"Asbestos Exposure During Brake Lining Maintenance and Repair" I plan to attend these presentations and hope to secure copies of the papers while there. (I will be in Miami Beach for another conference at that time.) On another subject, Mr. Weaver and I have discussed the possibility of another committee meeting. Our last meeting was on June 1, 1973. Your Chairman and I do not believe in calling for a meeting unless there are items of substance on the agenda. Currently, Mr. Weaver and others in the Industry are preparing a draft to send to OSHA concerning work practice standards for various asbestos products. As asbestos containing friction materials will be one of the products, a committee meeting may be called relative to this subject. As I receive more information, I will let you know. EWD/lmc Enc. E.

This is to advise the committee that its members unanimously supported recommending to the Board of Directors that an insert be made in the Institute's catalogs on recommended procedures for brake servicing. Further, the committee u; unanimously favored the one page write-up that was enclosed with the ballot "Recommended Procedures for Reducing Asbestos Dust During Brake Servicing." All committee members voted (5--0). Dr. Jacko did not vote, having resigned from the committee this past fall as he was being transferred to Europe on a temporary assignment. This subject will now be reviewed by our Data Book and Technical Committee before forwarding recommendations to the Board of Directors. One member added these comments: PRINTING A PAGE IN THE FMSI CATALOGS STILL DOES NOT GET PROCEDURES INTO THE HANDS OF THE GARAGE MECHANIC. THE IDEAL SOLUTION IS FOR REBUILDERS OR OTHER PEOPLE PUTING LINING SETS INTO INDIVIDUAL BOXES TO INCLUDE A FOLDED 8-1/2 x 11 SHEET ON PROCE DURES IN EACH BOX. THE DRAWBACK OF COURSE IS SEVERAL PENNIES COST. The foregoing is for your information. E. W. Drislane Executive Director I FMSI 06750
