VERMONT ASBESTOS GROUP, Inc. P. O. Box 94 B MORRISVILLE, VERMONT 05661 (802) 888-5716 January 11, 1983 Raymond J. Hart, Purchasing Manager The Bendix Corporation Friction Materials Division Troy, New York 12181 Dear Mr. Hart: As we have discussed by telephone, Vermont Asl>estos Group, Inc. did not come into existence until March, 1975. As of yet, we have not located any information in our files as to the bag warnings that appeared on GAF bags or their predecessor, Ruberoid. The consensus is that the bag warnings did not commence until after Ruberoid became GAF. We do not know the exact date of a bag warning procedure by GAF or the precise text but, as I agreed by tele phone, that information will be made available to you if discovered by us. You are aware of the fact that VAG is not a successor corporation to GAF. VAG has never shipped product in bags without warning labels. It would appear to me that our labels from the earliest time is illustrated herein. That is to say, that as of 1975, this is the text that appeared on the face of the bag. Would you like us to send you a bag? If you need further information do not hesitate to contact me. DBS/dm enc. > HWBUI0012455
