Martin s u b j e c t : Asbestos Containing Cal Sil DATE: August 1 8 | 1975 cc.-^L. E. Feltt R. J. Schirick The unofficial advice of legal counsel is not to ship the subject m aterial anywhere within the United States on the basis that our responsibility therefore is so clearly proclaimed by (a) our name on the box and (b) our name on the bill of lading. Bob Schirick has thoroughly explored the foreign m arket for this m aterial, but to no avail. With the threatened shortages of insulation m aterials in Canada there is a possibility that we could ultimately Bhip thft m aterial there. Budd will explore this avenue. My cor elusion, ; e re fo re, is that we should: 1. Leave the m aterial as l:i and continue ou; efforts to dispose of it profitably in the Canadian and/or the foreign m arket. It a r ears ' to me that you do not really need the space that it occupies, and . it would cost you some money just to dump it. 2. If my reasoning is incorrect regarding your space requirements, o r if it should subsequently develop that you need the space, just h o lle r.. and we will give serious consideration to dumping the m aterial.
