It was a Sunday and pr mium time hut I didn't work it and it helps to make up for that hotel hill. I learned not to stay in Manhattan. Th meeting was the hest thing that could have happened for our plant. It scared the pants off of me, and I think my report woke up our m mb 2 at last nights meeting. B sides what is in my report, I talked to Mr. Samuel and since there will he $10,000,000 available from the National Cancor Instiltut to the National Cancer Society for reserch, we will try to get som of thr non y used for a study of Pittsburgh Corning Port Allegany employ a. Th re isn't any doubt that there will he more asbestos relat d diseas Mr. Samuel asked if I would meet with him and Mr. Molitor of the Penn sylvania Lung Association In Harrisburg, Pa. on October 2, 1974. I plar to meet with them at that time. I had asked the company to furnish a list of all past and present employees with exposure to asbestos. I amended that request to includ all dependants at the time of exposure. Thi3 was a meeting of a committee. I will be gratefull if th Inter national will see fit to let me participate in any future work of this committee. I Just received a copy of the New York Times article.
