H. .Dodson r/rrr December 1, 1969 ivf..; T. F. Egan R. W. Sterrett C. R. Babb 1 XT l<r Cranker R. J. Braga T H IS CO PY FO R T Vance: I * Knowing the building pressure against the use of asbestos in sprayed fireproofing, particularly in the New York, Philadelphia area, and with concern spreading rapidly throughout the country, there are two prime reasons we should get asbestos out of Mono-Kote. They are: 1. We are going to get included in the indictment since s we have asbestos in Mono-Kote. 2. Mono-Kote without asbestos would give us a tremendous sales increase at once. Also, we have an ethical obligation to get it out. We need a realignment of work assignments so that Ralph and/or others can get on this matter at once. It's been much too long already that we've been looking at this problem. Let everyone know what you need so .we can get it behind us. TFE:dlc ORIGINAL SIGNED BY: I - THOMAS f. EGAN . T. F.
