ASBESTOS COMPENSATION COALITION
November 13, 1981
Mr. Kenneth Jacobson Public Affairs Manager,
Washington, D.C. DuPont Corporation Suite 1120 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20002
Dear Mr. Jacobson:
I understand from Dr. Benjamin Felson at the University of Cincinnati that the DuPont Corporation has produced a movie on asbestosis. Since this is one of the asbestos-related occupational diseases with which the Asbestos Compensation Coalition is concerned, we would be Interested in obtaining a copy of the film to l_o to edu cate our members and other interested people.
The Asbestos Compensation Coalition, a non-profit educational organization, represents a number of asbestos companies who are concerned about the problems of compensating workers who develop asbestos-related occupational disease.
The ACC has been working with the Asbestos Workers' Union to support a legislative solution to the current situation of drawn-out suits that benefit only a few of the claimants. In the interest of equity, the state workers' compensation statutes governing asbestos-related occupational diseases should be revised to a uniform standard. To thi-s end, the Asbestos Health Hazards Com pensation Act was introduced in the 97th Congress on September 18th.
I look forward to hearing from you about how the Asbestos Compensation Coalition can obtain the DuPont Corporation's movie about asbestosis. Thank you.
Sincerely,
1825 K STREET, N.W.
