MlftllTES Qr PREVIOUS MEETING The members were advised that the minutes of the previous meeting held on June 21 and 22, 1967 had been distributed. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed, it was RESOLVED: That the mi mites of the meeting held on tfcne 21 st and 22nd 1967 be accepted as distributed. REPORT Of THE PRES?PETIT This is the first time that the annual meeting has been held in Florida so I wish you all ft very hearty welcome to this sunny State and hope that you will enjoy ell of the facilities available for your pleasure. It has become traditional for the institute President to review many of the conditions affecting business, the international situation and the general state of our national economy. I shall not cenwent on any of the foregoing since to do SO would accomplish very little, instead, let us discuss the state of our institute and what we can do to inprove 1 it. ' The reports,to be presented by your Committee Chairmen will give you, in de tail, what has been accomplished during the past year. Let us consider now what mare could be done by the Institute for each of it's members. Let us giye this Institute a new direction, beginning now. Let us effectively plan for the future and raise our organisation to the status other similar associa tions have achieved, dhile there is no lack of desire on the pert of our members to contribute, there is too often a lack of opportunity. The Board, therefore, at yesterday's meeting dealt in detail with this problem Your Board of Directors is ready and willing to develop this Institute into a more valuable association. To do so will require the assistance of each and every menbe An institute Development Cosmittee has been appointed to determine what the institute can do, based upon wtat our members desire. While this comsittee is in it's formative stages, you should start thinking about what the institute should be doing for you. Consider the thousands of dollars spent each year by each member on non-coroe- tiiive activities that might be done better and more economically through the Institute, `while we may assume little can be done because of legal restrictions, we have canpetent counsel to guide us. Do not limit your recomwendet ions. We will never know how much xwafi d* unless of v submits our suggestions. ' rtHCTiON V7S*ifiLS STANDARDS iKfkntfT?.

Belts reported that there has been a great deal of controversy and discussion, on the causes of air pollution and that one of the industries blamed has been the asbestos brake lining industry as being the cause of silicosis. His company, which has been conducting tests along various lines, decided to check the veracity of this accusation sod made some very interesting tests on brake linings. The lining was tested on a dynamometer in a box and ever thing was measured and analyzed. It was found that brake lining is not a health hazard. Mr. J. R. Lynch ot the U.S. Public Health Service, Department of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare had been interested in the tests being made and visited tne Isnoratory to see the work that had been done. He asked permission to use some of the results and then wrote a paper which will be released to the public in the near future in one of the journals on air pollution control. Of interest to ins members is his conclusion: "Only a very snail proportion of the asbestos worn from brake linings is re leased as free fiber; the remainder is converted into some other mineral a a result of the extreme temperatures generated at small spots on the lining surface. Thus - although urban air contains a few free fibers as a result of brake lining wear - they represent a very smell proportion of the total asbestos used in the manufacture of brakes. Many sources of respirable fibers not associated with asbestos products have been identified (12) and the free fibers from brake lining wear appear to be an inconsequential health factor in air pollution". The members were very much interested in securing copies of the entire article so Mr. Setts advised that he would try to secure a copy for each member. LOCATION OT NEXT ANNUAL MEET INS The meeting was asked for suggestions as to where the 1969 sessions should be held but, after discussion, it was decided that they again be held at the fceral Country Club. It was felt that proximity to the airport plus the recreational facilities and the excellent food and service were important factors in the selection of a site. On the question of the members' wives being invited, the meeting was agreed that the meetings continue to be only for the members* representatives. There-was no objection to the wives accompanying their husbands but since these were strictly business sessions, that the meetings, reception and dinner be attended only by the representatives. ** No further business was brought to the attention of the meeting, therefore, upon motion made and seconded, it was .RESOLVED: To adjourn Adjourned at 10:0 A.M. on June 2, 1966 H.
