Little representatives be afforded an opportunity to meet with the members of the Counci11s Accident Prevention Committee to explain what is being sought. In as much as-the Council1s Envir:mmental Control Committee and Accident Prevention Committee to are having back-to-back meetings on April 11 and 12, and both Com- mittees are concerned, it was felt that the best time meet on the asbestos study would be the afternoon of April 11th at 2:30 here in the Council's office.
