There are a couple of things in Dick Shannon's letter of January 28 to you
which I would like to comment on
be I think Dick should commended on his thorough status report on
First
Asbestos Kaylo
His report clearly brings the problem into sharper
focus and as such makes me more concerned over our probability for success
The thing that is most evident is the lack of people working on this ~ .
Even though the various support groups in our development
area is plarboojreacttory are working on the problem Shannon's

success
We are entering an era This will include the growing concern of asbestos as
on our environment
& pollutant and health hazard
run into a problem with Dow Chemical and I have been told WpeoihnatveblaalnrkebaydyduPont's specification people that that company will require asbestos free material in 1971
In Dick Scannon's last trip to Manville he noticed more than a dozan
in one laboratory alone working on glass reinforced calcium silicate
people
we will be virtually out of the calcium
If M should solve this problem
within five years Our
silicate business with our present product
pollution and environmental
government is being forced to put emphasis
I believe in the very near
controls As such we will feel this situation
future and must be prepared
