4 MR. SMITH: Thank you.
5 Draft of introduction for mailing piece on
6 health aspects of fiberglass. Fiberglass is a new
7 basic material. This is 1941.
8 When a new basic material is offered to
9 industry, it is right and proper that workmen,
10 personnel directors, safety engineers, plant
11 physicians, insurance underwriters, and
12 representatives of governmental agency devoted to
13 protecting the welfare of workers would ask, does the
14 manufacture and use of this material introduce new
15 unknown or uncontrollable health hazards?
16 Thus sound business reasons dictated years
17 ago, long before Owens-Corning Fiberglas was forced to
18 manufacture and sell glass in fibrous or filament
19 form, that careful, scientific investigations be
20 carried out by impartial research experts to determine
21 whether fiberglass introduced any hazards not known.
