Burch l to Craig Burningham January 21, 1977 Your letter of January 14, 1977, has been forwarded to me. I assure you that you need not concern yo u rse lf over the possibility of harm due to the Asbestos Fiber content in the Joint Cement Product you recently used. To our knowledge, there is no known case of harm from Joint Cement containing Asbestos Fiber, even after prolonged exposure, numbered in many years. v.
