Fedder Owens Corning Owens Corning Manville This meeting was held in conjunction with the official luncheon at the Annual Industrial Hygiene Foundation Meeting Mr. Sheckler reported a bad press in New Jersey in regard to the relationship of asbestos exposure and mesothelioma In his opinion this had made it even more urgent for his Education Subcommittee to develop the second round Educational Program for the IDCNA As part of this program a pamphlet is being prepared on the safe handling of insulation materials Target dates given by Mr. Sheckler for the Education Subcommittee's activities included a February 1 1968 consideration of the entire program by the Occupational Health & Safety Committee The final program must be ready for presentation at the Regional IDCNA meetings by April 1 1968.

J. Selikoff at which time he briefly discussed the NIMA Educational Program Dr. Grant reiterated his previously expressed opinion that the Committee coordinate the Educational Program in preparation with Dr. W.

S. Public Health Service mineral fiber industry study Dr. Grant briefly met with Dr. Lewis Cralley of the U. S.

Records Study of the mineral fiber industry The question of establishing another Subcommittee of the Occupational Health & Safety Committee was raised by Mr. Sheckler The purpose of this Subcom- mittee would be to respond quickly to inquiries or problems directed to the 2 Occupational Health & Safety Committee Following a discussion it was decided that formation of the Subcommittee would be postponed until some experience had been gained relative to the nature of the present problems To date no problems of the sort envisioned by Mr. Sheckler have come to the attention of this Committee There being no further business the meeting was adjourned Respectfully submitted L.
