RF.ro;:: I.n the Chairman's absence, J. W. lVarnhnrc reported as follows: -2- There were two rail proposals published in Hay of 1969 by the railroads which called for the attention of your Traffic Committee. The first was a 21-point proposal, published jointly by the railroad bureaus, which sought to increase accessorial charges in practically all areas of railroad service. Ac approx imately the sama time, the official lines published a proposal seeking to establish the application of Rule 34 on rates cover ing Mineral Wool shipped at a 24,COO~povnd minimum weight. A meeting was held June 4 at the Drake Hotel in New York to determine a course of action in both instances. It was decided to protest four of the 21 points in die joint proposal which would most greatly affect our industry and to seek to delay the official lines proposal until we could determine the reasoning behind it. We were successful in defeating all four points-in the 21-rpoint proposal which we protested. Tour of the committee members attended a public hearing in Montreal on July 21 by the official lines- protesting the pro posal to apply ?.ule 34. Up to the present time, the railroads are still carrying the proposal oh.the docket, but have taken no action. While we cannot advise the rail carriers* future course of action, we have avoided an increase in. charges by ap proximately sir months to date. The Traffic Committee was given the assignment of again reviewing stan dardization of packaging in relation to carload shipping. STATISTICAL COifrUTTcF. IMPORT In the Chairman's absence, J. M. Barnhart reported cs follows: 1. On June 16, 1969, Mr. Barnhart published revised rules for statistical reporting, cs recommended by this committee and accepted by the Board of Directors.

' Discussions with senior industrial hygienists of the Federal Inspection Committee, who are responsible for enforcing the Waish-llealy Act pertaining to Che adoption by the Federal Government as law the proposed TLV for Asbestos dust of 12 fibcrs/si^ of air. Based on British Standards of 2 fibers/irP of air, there was considerable tendency to establish a federal regulation of 6 fibers/ra3 of air. This level is still being considered as of this date. 3. On June 9, 1969, the KIHA education task force team made a presenta tion to the Southeastern States Associated Asbestos Contractors at Pine Mt.; Ga. There were approximately 50 contractors present and the response to the presentation was extremely favorable. 4.

Price, Jr. Hugh Mulkey, and George Barth had net on September 10, 1969, in Pittsburgh Pa., as follows: GENERAL A critique was made of the proposed new constitution dated June 19, 1969 and observed that based on its concents^ it has beer, precluded that N7.MA was going to change its scope to include nil thermal in sulations rather chan the Industrial and Commercial as now estab lished. The Committee, therefore, felt that our charge to recom mend to the hoard of Directors of KIKA whether a change in member ship and concept was desirable seemed academic in light of the Constitution Committee' s recommendations. No one had any revised Dy-Laws to go with the proposed Constitution cliangcs. The Comitcce proceeded, therefore, to us:.: the ohl Consfitut 1 os and Ey-I.aws as the basin for our meeting. 10 - QUESTICM Should NII-1A expand their membership and operational policies to in clude other types of insulation materials chan presently included, as veil as include uses other than Commercial & Industrial applica tions into its scope? ANSWER 1. The insulations market today encompasses many areas other than 'as first defined, and like products have a multitude of appli cations in the acoustical, decorative, and structural fields. It is, therefore, recommended that the association encompass materials and markets involved in thermal applications only. 2. The advent of new uses and new products brought about by the ever-quickening pace of technological advancement in our field requires that the association, on a planned basis, expand its scope to include other insulation materials, and like materials sold in other markets. QUESTION '. How will this benefit the present NItIA organization, member companies and our total thermal insulations industry? __ ANSWER 1. The ever-growing multiplicity of use for the came product in different markets requires that performance standards be estab lished for markets regardless of the materials involved. This is particularly true where government agencies are involved. Expanding c'ne association will insure grcaccr coordination be tween markec segments. 2. The voice of the association will be much greater in the area's of mutual problems than will the combined voices of segmented or fraccionalized associations as is now the case. 3. The collective financial strength of a unified association will allow us to approach industry problems concerning labor', legis lation, health and cafcty, traffic, ctc.:, on a consolidated and solidified basis to protect the interests of our industry. A. Involvement of higher management of the major corporations in association work will he necessary due to the crossing of market and product lines of the expanded organization. 5.
