We were recently advised that a program is being instituted for ch purpose of checking the lungs, chest, etc., of all employees who were exposed to asbestos for at least a five year history. In information I have received does not indicate whether or not former employees are to be tested. I know that management is very much concerned about this problem and 1 note that arrangements for the taking of tests will not be completed until some time later this fall. So chat the international union will have complete informa* tlon concerning everything that is to be done in this area, I would appreciate it if you would forward to me information pertaining to the entire program chat the company has in mind. thanking you for your cooperation in the foregoing, X am Very truly yours, J Bb"0000595~7 GMP/fb cc: Richard Morgan Georg M.
