Sales Desk and Executive Staff Secretaries ATT:_______________________________________________ SUBJ:_____ Talc and FDA Regulations INTER - OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE Due to impending FDA regulations regarding the alleged content of asbestos in talc, we believe you will be besieged by a new assortment of questions and requests for definitions from our customers. Some of these customers may ask us to guarantee that the talc is free from asbestos or they may ask for some specific testing or specific lot testing, etc.. Until this situation is clearly defined, we believe it will be best if you do not attempt to feel these questions but refer them to George Dippold, Fred Roesch or Ray Krammes. This is a very delicate situation and there is much to be defined as to test procedures and content, etc. Please advise all your people of this and follow accordingly. JCW/sam
