DATE July 23, 1968 The local suppliers of asbestos insulation have stated that they do not know exactly what materials are used In making asbestos (calcium silicate) insulation. One of the local suppliers has requested this information from an insulation manufacturer. As soon as I receive this information I will forward it to you. In view of the problems concerning cutting asbestos insulation, we have stopped cutting it on all power saws until the information re quested by Dr. Rinehart is received, and your recommendations on how to handle the material are published. We are currently investigating the use of a vacuum system for a portable band saw,that is used to cut Insulation in the field. We will contact you when it is installed. FHWrmam CC: Mr. C. J. Lowe F.
