Corporate Trumbull Mr. F. S. Daly. Proposed Articlo by Auto Industries "Environmental Realities" October 25, 1976 The proposed contains many errors and mistatementa and la so poorly organized und written that it is virtuly incoherent. Even worse, it is almost totally negative in tone. In summary the paper Is so bad no amount of mending could tnako it useful. I told :r. Kelson, Raybeatos-Kanhattan does not want to be associated in any way with such a document. Me agreed to kill the story. The information on which the story was based definitely did not come from the Uartford Advertising Agency. It vac Mr. Kelson's understanding tho material was supplied by someone at RaybestusManhattan. He could not recall who it was. Nolson is still interested in doing a study on brake linings manufactured for original equipment customers. I suggested lie look to liondix. for background information on that subject. He olso mentioned that another Chilton publication. Motor Age, might like to uo a story on the safe use of asbestos containing friction materials in the aftermarket. I told him wo would be very glad to participate in ouch a project but emphasized that tf we were to participate, we would want to make certain that i<otor Age personnel talx to people'qualified to respond in this area. I think Paul Lee, Ike Weaver and I could put together a very positive story of Raybestoe-Manhnutan'u activities in thio area if sucli a story would be desirable. U/it personnel should bo instructed to refer all inquiries on the health aspects of asbestos exposure to the Environmental Affairs Department. /illi cd ; Manure. R, M. r.orJcn M. C,. Lii.ipnon R. 11.
