Sales of RG-244 and drilling mud products were, respectively, only 72% and 54% of budgeted tons. This was the main reason for below budget performance and erosion of sales in these areas is expected to continue due to health/regulatory effects unless "dust-free" products are developed and marketed. The Fisher-Body Division of GMC has issued an edict that no new formulations will be evaluated if they contain asbestos. Floor tile sales were above budget due to Kentile purchases which exceeded loss of sales to GAF. lie anticipate no further sales to GAF unless we make a competitive price offer or their current supplier falters.
Although domestic sales were only slightly below budget, the disparity between regions was significant due to unexpected circumstances. The following table illustrates this:

Export sales in the 4th Quarter were artificially low because of shipments which were made but not invoiced before the closing date. These will be picked up in January. Sales of RG-244-EX and SX-24 were below expectations because of plant problems in making^specification product. This situation has now been corrected and normal shipments resumed although we have a lot of "catching up" to do. For the year, export sales were a record $2804M, 8% higher than 1978.

As expected, the CAL-0SHA Standards Board ignored our testimony and established an action level of 0.1 f/cc to trigger monitoring and medical examinations. A copy of Dr. Rhodes 4th Quarter Activity Summary is enclosed.
Significant quantities of CSV are now being sold through Montello to Dresser's compounder for production of si lane-treated asbestos for use in oil base muds. Considerations are being given to bulk shipments. Montello has had good response from "UNIVIS", an oil-wetted pellet, and an engineering study was begun to assist in determining whether or not we should make this product at King City. The development of a "liquid thixotrope" is continuing with a customer/compounder and distributor. Optimism for a successful market program is beginning to prevail. A summary of technical/customer service activities is enclosed.

Fourth Quarter Activity
A detailed listing of my time allocations and main activities during the last quarter of 1979 is attached. The time split was about 60% asbestos and 40% uranium, as anticipated.
The major uranium effort in this quarter was the completion of the AMC response to the GEIS and testimony in Albuquerque. I have also become involved with two new AMC Subcommittees:
1. Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Asbestos in Water - This group is preparing responses to the Cal span report on asbestos in water and the proposed EPA Water Quality Criteria Document on asbestos. It is anticipated that this group will phase out after this specific task is completed.
2. Subcommittee on Carcinogens - This is a new subcommittee whose initial job is to prepare a response to the EPA generic proposal for airborne carcinogens (Section 112, Clean Air Act). The specific charter is still being defined but it appears that this will be quite an active group.
It should be noted that both of these activities overlap very much with similar AIA/NA actions with which I am involved. The joint interest has resulted in good coordination, cooperation, and exchange of information between the two organizations, which should prove useful in the future.
The asbestos activities include the completion of the Proceedings of the Washington Colloquium and substantial time on the preparation of the technical report on the Round-Robin monitoring study. The latter has proven to be more complex than originally anticipated and will be a main effort for the first quarter of 1980. Moderate time, was also spent in the preparation of comments on several regulatory responses prepared by Kirkland and Ellis. This will also be a major effort in the first quarter of 1980.
A proposed Position Charter, MOP's and appropriate action plan for 1980 will be submitted separately.

Technical Services - Activity Report - Fourth Quarter 1979
Technical services activities during the fourth quarter are summarized in the attachments.
Dust monitoring services were provided at 28 customer facilities during 1979. Six monitorings were also conducted at Union Carbide facilities including Niagara Falls and King City. The technical service group participated in three developmental projects sponsored by the Dust Measurement Advisory Panel of the AIA.
Some 24 customer related technical service projects were performed during 1979. An updated and revised edition of the "Calidria" Asbestos Physical Tests and Procedures Manual was issued in December.
Developmental programs included silane-treated RG-244, UNIVIS (oil-treated SG-200X) and production related projects. Typical properties of standard, superstandard, and high-purity products were reviewed based on extensive testing of 1976, 1977 and 1978 production materials.
Mr. Fred Smith joined the technical services group in June. He has been programs pertaining to dust monitoring and counting projects and
laboratory techniques. He attended the NIOSH Asbestos Count Program in September.
The writer attended two seminars during the year; Asbestos Materials Techniques, University of Lavel, and a course on Persuasive Communications by Nurenberg Communications.

Salesmen were reduced from four to three with Ed Kleber's transfer to Al-Chem group at the end of the first quarter. Ed's territory has been reassigned to the remaining salesmen, which should improve the balance between regions.
Floor tile sales continued high, partially due to unexpected purchases by GAF because of Atlas production problems. GAF has indicated continuing purchases from us at modest levels. Shipments to Kentile-Chicago continue at a rate limited only by the turnaround time of 10 bulk cars. If this continues we will determine whether or not to add additional cars to the fleet. Flintkote shut down their Chicago plant, which we did not supply, and this could.result in more business for their competitors, whom we do supply. Decreased housing starts have not affected our sales as yet but are expected to as the year progresses.
Although drilling mud sales are currently high, continued pressure from our competition with their wetted product is expected to erode our market share at an increased rate. Although we have dropped the oil-wetted pellet program, we will work closely with Montello to develop some type of lower-dust product.
RG sales are being restricted by auto makers desires to eliminate asbestos from all cars. Ford has now adopted a policy similar to GM but without the same "gusto". The decline in auto production will also have an adverse effect on sales.
-2- May 9, 1980
Export sales were the real bright spot during the report period, mainly due to above budget sales of RG-244 (148%) and SX-24 (1662). Some shipments were carried over from December due to plant production problems, but sales have been strong through the end of the quarter. Sales to Brazil and Australia are over 200% of budget but are not expected to continue at these levels.
Regulatory activities continue at a high level although no new regulations have been promulgated. Dr. Rhodes reviewed activities during the first quarter for all concerned so they will not be repeated here.
Customer and other technical service activities are described in the attached report from Blair Ingalls.
After the annual weather problems. Atlas has resumed operations and appears to be supplying previous demand. Two Canadian companies are on strike but this does not effect us. Our main Canadian competitor's labor situation is such that workers could strike on 5/11/80. There are mixed reports on whether or not they will.

Increased sales volume of about 7% is expected in 1981, primarily due to an increased share of the drilling mud market with "UNIVIS" and modest increases in floor tile and export sales. The major uncertainty in the Asbestos Business will continue to feel the effect of government regulations and adverse publicity.

Export and total dollars set new records for annual sales, although the total was only $22,000 higher than 1978, the previous record year. Domestic sales were above budget for floor tile and drilling mud, while RG products finished at 85% of budget. By contrast, export sales of RG products were 122% of budget and tile sales were below budget due to our Australian customer discontinuing the use of asbestos in the second quarter.

As indicated by the above, Grace has increased their activity in non-European countries and is competing with Union Carbide in S. Africa and Taiwan. This competition presents some complications, such as with pricing, but it does get the attention of the UC sales offices.
Highlights for 1980 are summarized as follows:
1. March and first quarter sales established monthly and quarterly records.
2. Domestic sales personnel were reduced from four to three. Geographical responsibilities were revised and Eastern Canada was assigned to export sales.
3. Flintkote shut down floor tile plants in Chicago (March) and Los Angeles (November), leaving Toronto as their only tile production facility. We were supplying LA about 75 TPM, but nothing to Chicago or Toronto. Winburn shut down in the second quarter,i a loss of about 200 TPY.
4. Atlas experienced major operating difficulties in the first quarter and "officially" discontinued production in the second quarter.
5. Calaveras discontinued production of Grade 7 products in November, but this will have little effect on our sales in 1981.
6. We have obtained continuing business from GAF in Long Beach and Vails Gate because of the Atlas shutdown. This should continue in 1981, although GAF tile plants are now up for sale.
7. Auto maker policies on asbestos use and low auto production caused a significant loss of RG sales.
8. Drilling mud sales were strong all year and were 165% of budget at year end. This is due to the record number of rigs operating, but our market share continued to drop due to the marketing efforts on Flosal, a wetted and prilled product from J-M. We decided not to offer a wetted product but did supply about 100 tons of UNIVIS (1/8" SSG pellets) for field evaluation of dust generation and down-hole performance. Tests will continue in 1981 and improved packaging will be considered.
....... . 9. During the first half, Great_Gulf Chemicals purchased about 500 tons of CSV from Montello to make silane-treated asbestos (SMF) under contract from Dresser Industries. Dresser blends SMF with other materials to make a product for use in oil-base drilling fluids. Great Gulf began experiencing severe production problems in the last quarter and singled out CSV as the cause for off-spec SMF. Although we are sure CSV was not at fault, they tested HP0 from a regular distributor (D&F-Houston) and, by the end of the year, had essentially switched from CSV to HP0. Although we have an exclusive arrangement with Montello, the Law Dept, advised that we should not "get involved." The situation has been dis cussed with Montello and no significant problems are anticipated.
-3- February 2, 1981
10. Although Canadian asbestos producers had some labor problems, all contracts were settled before there was any impact on our business. There is a considerable excess of Grade 7 fiber and by the end of the year it was becoming evident that we could expect unusual pricing pressures in 1981, especially in Japan and the Eastern U.S.
11. Although there was a constant threat of new regulations, none were promulgated which would have a serious effect oh our business The main threat to the asbestos industry was the continuing use of the media by the agencies to instill an unfounded fear of asbestos. We anticipate reduced regulatory pressures for the next four years.
12. Although sales were at a record level, financial performance was poorer than prior years because of unexpectedly high production costs, especially energy-related. Following is a summary of the last three years:

13. The improved performance budgeted for 1981 can only be achieved by implementing large price increases to offset production and other cost increases. One distributor agreement was terminated at the end of 1980 which will result in a $46,000 savings in commissions in 1981.

Technical Service Activity Report, 4th Quarter - 1980 and Year End Summary of Activities
Technical Services activities for the 4th quarter 1980 are attached.
Dust monitoring services were provided at 16 customer facilities during 1980, a 43% decline from 1979. However, air monitoring programs in general and AIA/NA-DMAP related work increased substantially during 1980. Monitorings related to UNIVIS evaluations at drilling locations and special tests performed at select residential sites in California were considerably involved; both from the standpoint of field work and overall manpower.
Developmental investigations included two general areas of study; evaluations of asbestos physical properties and test methods, and product development. A general breakdown of specific areas of study is as follows:
Asbestos physical properties & test methods
1) Centrifugal techniques for particle sizing 2) Fann viscometer determinations of rheological characteristics 3) Marsh Funnel determinations of rheological characteristics 4) Development of an asbestos slurry solids determination test
based on densimeter techniques
Product Development
1} LTX programs - Asbestos liquid thixotropes including, DIOP, polymer resins and oil treatments
2) Study - physical properties of Standard,Super-Standard and High Purity products
3) Silane treated RG-244 developmental products 4) Study of RG-244 physical & rheological properties and related
test methods.
