Boeschenstein < Toledo Dear Dhve* With respect to your memorandum of October 3rd to Len Sadosky on subject natter. I think there is on other consideration which is of paramount importance to this tfiole subject. As you are well aware, tha Government will probably blow the whistle relative to the use of asbestos in the not too distant future and, before we embark upon a substantial expansion program at Berlin and/ or consider putting a new facility in the Southwest, we had bettor be dam 3ura that we have an answer to the asbestos threat. Work has been dons on this In the past and, to date, there has been no successful answer. By copy of this memorandum to Jack Thoms, I am asking that ho give us specific guidance and direction on the do-ability and timing with respect to solving tha asbestos tgoSEeml It may be that, if there is no answer to tha asbestos situation, we should promptly embark upon an aggressive process program to find a way to manufacture a Hulti-Terap type product at acceptable gross margins* // As soon as you and I hsar back from Jack Thomas, we should plan to gettogether and discuss this matter further. Best regards, *42* IWL/eja t D. W. Ladd, Jr* PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT 05tf3-fr> 01 023 0881
