These direct (with firm timing) the elimination of asbestos in all friction product uses, particularly brakes. Previous direction necessarily qualified due to unknown technical and cost issues. As background, I've included copies of the original 8/:'. Direction letter, our 11/20/83 position paper and EtbE 12/9/83 recommendations (which OGC previously concurred in).

If fixed and/or variable costs appear significant or an excessive engineering effort ns required, asbestos recsvti actions should be reviewed with the Vehicle Design Office before costs are incurred for difficult to achieve or disproportionately expensive substitutions. Accomplishments will be tracked and reported ansnally by Vehicle .Haterials Development and Planning (VMD&?). VXD&? will also be responsible for coordination of advanced engineering bodget items that aay incur significant coet penalties (e.g., brakes) and preparation of supnlenertary Program Direction letters directing specific accelerated actions if and where necessary.
