Illinois passed that law that would have
essentially eliminated the use of asbestos in
brakes throughout the United States?
A I didn't extrapolate that far.
Q What was your understanding as to what
would happen to the friction materials industry
had that Illinois law been passed?
A I don't recall having any reaction. My
reaction to the whole thing was it was far fetched
because I had heard, you know, the origin of all
this stuff goes back to Irving Selikoff, who was a
researcher at the Mt. Sinai in New York City, and
it was based on the spraying of asbestos in the
shipyard during World War II. And Selikof himself
said, "We are not out to go and ban asbestos. We
are trying to regulate it so we can control it in
the workplace." And that was my understanding.
So banning of the asbestos by this Pollution
Control Board I thought was stepping pretty far
when Dr. Selikoff even said we are not trying to
ban it.
Q Is it your understanding, sir, that this
proposed legislation had it passed would have
essentially put the asbestos brake manufacturers
