!~. ~;eaver' s report expressed concern on the accusations that have been pressed
against the industry concerning the asbestos standards.' Be revi~.ed some of the
activities of the resulatory agencies over the past year. The last four para-
graphs in ?lr. Heaver's report aroused sone controversy.
One director susses ted
that the last four para~raphs ~e deleted.
':here is a serious question as to uhether the OSltA. 2 fiber per ce limt (Hhich
is to be effective July 1, 1976) can be met by friction caterial manufac~urers.
;~. Heaver indicated in his repart that installers of friction caterial are now
coming und~r the surveillance Df Dr. Selikoff and ot!ler pr<lponents of stronger
regulation.
Several t:;eI:lbers brought up the point that eveQ wid! t.he r~suLu:1oc.s

The ~ecreeary brou;ht u? for discussion the fact that a Congressuoman from ;ietl Jersey CIrs. :1illicent Fe!r.'lickh)as proposed legislation for the sale of Cnrysotile asbestos froM the national stockpile. So~e individual asbestos users and the Asbestos Infort:l.3tioAnssociation supported ~1rs. Fem-rick 1n this leeislation. ~e purpose of the legislation is to help industry reduce une~plo~~ent brought on by the asbestos shortage. The number of tons that might be released is about 10,000. It is not felt that this is really siGnificant out in any case its release cannot hurt.
The Secretary uas directed to tIrite a letter to 11rs. Fenwick 10 support of this legislation.

In summary, the report recommended a return to Innisbrook in June 1976, and if that was not satisfactory, ~~e Phoenix-Scottsdale area.
Upon motion duly made, seconcied and unanimously passed i' ~a ..
r.ESOLVED: That the report of the Annual !,jeeting Committee be accepted as i7ritten.

The Secretary read a report on Historical Sales t~hich is EJdl1b1.~13. In essence, par::icipation vas good Tolith15 of 19 members reporting.

At this poi~t, tha subject of listing those reportinc in each catecory ~;.as brought up. At the present time, the names of the companies re?Qrting in at least one category are listed at the bottom of the report, and the nucber of coopanies (but not the names) reporting in each particular category also is listed, e.g., X number of oecbers reported 0rake linings, Y number of m~bers re?c~ted brake blocks, etc. It had been sU8gestec that the names of the mer~ers repc~ti~; i~ each of these categories also be listed. so that the composite saLes figu:-as in each category ~:ill be racre me andng f uL, TIle objection to lis-;ing the r.l~!"".1r:elpeorrsting in each category is t.....at the Insti.tut.emus t; be careful i: s~les ~ata is passed out to members.

ASBESTOS STUDY COHMITTEE REPORT
:.~::s:::.::iustrh.l.canag ers az-e well aware ef the Lncz-eas i.ag amount of ~:'::ltehey =.;s:.devote to ;:::-oble!':O:s-elatingto occupational and environ:nental haz az-cs , ~ :-ecent yea:-s ::e7.gove~ent agencies have been created which have b::-oad ~c~e:-s to inves:.igate, regulate and centrol industrial operaticns. During the ~ame neriod the uandates of traditional agencies also have been broadened in :-es~e~t to envi:-c~ental concerns, and frequently there are du~licate and som~times cor~licting functions. Coincidentally, the scienti~c community has been producing an increasing volume of evidence regarding hitherto unsuspected health ~azards associated with various raw materials, chemicals and manufacturi..-.g met~ods.
Adding further -:'0 the burdens these developments place on industrial managers is a fal' m:>re mili:.ant union attitude on occupational health matters. Union spokescen, such as I. W. Abel, Tony Mazzochi and Sheldon Samuels, freely admit they have been negligent in facing these issues in the past. However,' recently a new attitude has been in evidence and it is exemplified by Mazzochi's stat.e!!lentthat., "We live in a nation of corporate law breakers." Samuels has no't been as charitable; he prefers to use the term "Corporate Mlrderers."
..
The p:-esent cion objective, as stated by Ma.zzochi, is to "use professionals to educate Labor-er's to understand health hazards" and to "use collective bargai.ni.Dg to get legislatio~ necessary to obtain good occupational health care." The ~ CIO has an active campaign to use the news media to get the message across ~o the ge~eral FJblic as well as to their members.
The f:-iction ~aterials industry position with respec~ to the aSbestos health issl.leis abost ~que. Few other industries are as heavily dependent. upon asbestos for the successful performance of their products, and ~roper handling of occu?ational ~d envi:-onmenta~ problems associated with the use of asbes~os is essential to the survival of manufacturers of asbestos-based friction ma~rials.
DlIi~~ the pas~ year yo~ Asbestos Study Committee has worked closely with OSHA, E?J.., lEOSH and "':oheisrubcontractors as well as with ..A..IA./NA regc:rding new st.2ndards 2..'1rdegarding changes to existing standards and guidelines for :regulation o~ asbest~s as ~e~l as other naterials. We have sought to keep abreast of new info~a~~on rega~=ing asbestos health effects, control methods ~~d regulations ==2..~a~~"gfr~= ~~e ~edical/scientific communities, various gove~-ment offices and c:~e:- =~~ces. =~e rollo~~g high~ights should be of interes~.

A new electron microscope laboratory has been provided at Cincinnati and is being used to investigate the quantity and size distribution of asbestos fibers and other aerosols i= occupational en\~ror~ents. Emphasis is on submicron particles and fibers less than 5 microns long.
EPA
EPA is undertaking a thorough investigation of the presence of asbestos in all areas of t.he environment. The work involves contract studies, in-house research and joint activities ~th other ~ov~rnment aga~cies.
There is considerable concern regarding the effectiveness of the "no visible emissions" standard in protecting the public from airborne asbestos. Pressure is on EPA from labor representatives and medical and envirpnmental groups for a "no detectable level n regulation.
ErA proposed waste disposal restrictions would create problems for some friction materials manufacturers.
FDA
A delay has been imposed on FDA's proposal to ban use of asbestos i~ fil:ers for beverages and food products ~~til they C~~ conduct eA~er~e~ts to dete~~e if long te~ exposure to inges~ed asbestos fibers represe~t a definitive hazard to huoan health.
A fo~ ~llion dollar animal feeding study has bee~ ~~p=oved for de~er~i~ation of health effects from inges~ing various doses of v~ious kinds of asbestos.

CDC
Tnis agency of HE~ ,~as issued a report indicatL~ adverse effects on pulconary function due to exposure to asbestos at two locations o~e of ~hich was a textile based friction material pl~~t in New E.:"..gland.
MEDICAL
Selikoff continues predictions of epidemic of asbes~os re2ated death and disease in years to ceme. He emphasizes the mesothelicca hazard and the fact no known dose level is "safe" and is pointing to the possible health significance of shorter, smaller fibers or particles not now covered by standards.
5elikoff people have been actively promoting hazards associated with asbestos emissions frem brake lining wear and frem brakeserVice operations.
Acknowledgment of association b~tween asbed~os ~o~ur~ ~ increased GI cancer has become accepted practice during.the pa~ year.
T~e above and other activities and publicity during recent months offers ample evidence that controversy and concern over asbestos has in no wa::! slackened. Ma.IJy seem to think the fact that OSHA, EPA, NIOSH and others rece~ have beeD devoting considerable attention to other toxic materials has taken some of the heat orf
asbestos. While this mas- be true as far as the over-all envircmmental and
occupational health picture is concerned, I see no significan~ ~ange in the attitude of regulatory agencies, ~edical researchers, labor, or enviroDm~~ groups in regard to the hazards of asbestos. Nor do I see eIr3 justification for such change.'
T~e friction materials ~dustry should pursue all available ~Aans ror'achieving cO!Il~lia."w'i1tche the 2 fiber per cubic millileter standard and a1.l other re~uixements of the OSHA asbestos'reguiations as promptly as possible. It should be kept Ln ::lind tne promulgated regulations are a ".:ninimumst.andard.IT Wherever possible ~Jre protection than that afforded by the standard should be provided for :riction =~~eria~s ~orkers exposed to asbestos dust.
q;:asis should be given to worker instruction and training i::l methods for r educLTlgtir":lornedust generation and for minimizing exposure to dust that is generated. ?:-oductlabeling and other means should be employed to thorougbly inform:':: c~sto~ers ~~d the public of the dangers associated with improper use, fabr2ction, ~andlir~ or disposal of asbestos-containing friction ~ateria~s. In-plant a-~tis~cL~ c~c.paigns~ould be laudable.
