He should be able to grasp easily general policy laid down by a Board of Trustees and effectively formulate this policy into an action plan. Administrative capacity and responsibility plus effective ness as a public spokesman are probably of prime importance, followed closely by a knowledge of the industry's problems and acquaintance with the scientific aspects. All of these qualifications, to some degree or other, may be found by seeking an Executive Director from the ranks of a university, or a scientific institution, from government, or from industry -- especially among those who may be faced with, or have already had, early retirement but could still be effectively active. Suggested Letter - 12/1/66 Appendix C Dear We are inviting you and a few other leaders in the asbestos and other mineral fibers industry to meet together (when) for the purpose of initiating an industry-supported scientific research program into possible health effects of mineral fibers. Increasingly, public health authorities, particularly in federal health and regulatory agencies, are focusing their attention on industrial products being introduced into the environment. Concern ranges from relatively limited effects of occupational exposures to much broader implications relating to the general public, or to relatively small groups within the public. Along with many other substances, asbestos, fiber glass and other mineral fibers are coming more and more under scrutiny as possible air contaminants affecting health, not only in ' WUStrY general public Although most published >stf^tRidies, and work that is underway. have been directed at JJJJ^pestos fibers, attention recently has been extending to other eral fibers with similar or other uses. Such possible effects allergic reactions also are coming under study. We believe it is essential for the industry to take leader ship in sponsoring health research that will help develop the factual data needed to answer questions -- before they become matters of public controversy. Instances are already known to most of us  -2- Appendix C where some public concern has been aroused by published reports suggesting involvement of mineral fibers in health problems. We are proposing the establishment of a Mineral Fibers Research Institute that will be in the public interest as well as the industry*s interest. Some scattered company-sponsored research is currently in progress but we believe all would be better served if a coordinated, well-planned and executive research program were to be conducted under the auspices of a research institute. We hope you will be able to join us. PRODUCED - 83 HILL and KXOWLTOK, Inc. Appendix D November 22, 1966 MEMORANDUM TO: P. J. Solon, Jr. Johns-Manville Corporation SUBJECT: Estimates for Asbestos-Health Library and Literature Search Although the nucleus of a reference library has been assembled, it is proposed that this activity be formalized, further developed and organized along the following lines. 1. A catalogue will be developed and maintained by broad subject for quick reference and retrieval; i.e., asbestosis, asbestos and cancer, meso thelioma, asbestos bodies, etc. Categories will not be maintained needlessly; the purpose is simplicity and usefulness. This is a new activity and will require more time at the beginning to catalogue existing papers than will be needed to keep the catalogue current as new papers come in. 2. Approximately 40 basic medical and scientific journals will be screened regularly by Hill and Knowlton, Inc. for relevant articles to be added to the library and catalogue. 3. Existing references are filed by author with cross-references in the case of multiple authors. Important previously published papers, not presently on file, will be obtained and included in the library and catalogue. 4. In addition, the checking service of the Philadelphia College of Physicians will be retained for providing references from about 2,000 English and foreign language medical journals for three subjects at a cost of $25 per year per subject. Subjects: Asbestos, Mesothelioma, Glass Fiber (including glass wool and fiberglas) Titles of references are reported each week on individual cards at an additional cost of 50 cents per reference. On receipt of the titles, com plete papers, if not otherwise available, may be ordered at a cost of 25 cents per sage. Translations frca 19 foreign languages are also avail able, if desired, at costs per 100 words varying from $1*50 (German) to $3*25 (Japanese). The basic cost of the Philadelphia library service is estimated at about $100 per month, depending upon the number of references cited and number of full papers ordered. All such charges would be billed at cost to Johns-Manville PRODUCED JM - 83 Appendix D 5. Maintenance of the library, index and catalogue, and analyzing published material would be a function of the Hill and Knovlton Environmental Health Unit. This would require part-time services of an account executive, librarian and secretary. During the catch-up period, of perhaps two or three months, more time may be required than later, when the system has been settled and only current literature screening is carried on. Estimate of total costs, including staff time, billings from Philadelphia College of Physicians library, costs of reproduction of needed articles, some subscription charges, and incidentals, should be no more than $1,750 per month. This amount will not be in addition to staff charges currently being incurred for Johns-Manville, because some of that time has been devoted to the current literature screening and analysis. However, under this proposal, charges attributable to maintenance of the library can be segregated so that actual cost experience can be shown. Special analyses of literature for "White Paper" additions or other positiontype papers are not included in this estimate. . CTtsdd PRODUCED JM^3
