Basic Qualifications of an Executive Director
The Executive Director for the Mineral Fiber Research
Institute should combine a scientific background an orientation
to industry administrative capacities and the ability to make
effective appearances before open audiences the press and
governmental bodies
should be able grasp easily general policy laid He
down by a Board of Trustees and effectively formulate this policy
|
into an action plan
Administrative capacity and responsibility plus effective-
ness as a public spokesman are probably of prime importance
followed closely by a knowledge of the industry's problems and
acquaintance with the scientific aspects
All of these qualifications to some degree or other may
be found by seeking an Executive Director from the ranks of a university or a scientific institution from government or from
industry ---- especially among those who may be faced with or
have already had early retirement but could still be effectively
active

Appendix C
Dear
:
.
We are inviting you and a few other leaders in the asbestos
and other mineral fibers industry to meet together when
for the purpose of initiating an supported scientific
research program into possible health effects of mineral fibers
Increasingly public health authorities particularly in
federal health and regulatory agencies are focusing their
attention on industrial products being introduced into the
environment Concern ranges from relatively limited effects of
occupational exposures to much broader implications relating to the general public or to relatively small groups within the
public
Along with many other substances asbestos fiber glass
and other mineral fibers are coming more and more under scrutiny
as possible air contaminants affecting health not only in
industry but in the general public Although most published
studies and work that is underway have been directed at
asbestos fibers attention recently has been extending to other
mineral fibers with similar or other uses Such possible effects
as allergic reactions also are coming under study We believe it is essential for the industry to take leader-
ship in sponsoring health research that will help develop the factual
data needed to answer questions - before they become matters of public controversy Instances are already known to most of us

Appendix C
where some public concern has been aroused by published reports
suggesting involvement of mineral fibers in health problems We are proposing the establishment of a Mineral Fibers
Research Institute that will be in the public interest as well
as the industry's interest Some scattered sponsored
research is currently in progress but we believe
.
$
better served if a coordinated planned and
all would be
.
executive
research program were to be conducted under the auspices of a
|
research institute
We hope you will be able to join us
