Subject: Initial Meeting on August 8, 1978 The Board of Directors of the Shipbuilders Council of America has authorized the formation of a special Ad Hoc Committee on Asbestos. Such a committee is consid ered necessary to bring this problem into focus and to exchange information on possible methods of dealing with present and past employees, Government agencies and the media. Recent events suggest a heightening of potential problems and liabilities for shipyards: (1) The Asbestosis Questionnaire being circulated to present and former shipyard employees by the National Cancer Institute (2) The rapid increase in workers compensation claims and negligence law suits in Naval shipyards and to a lesser extent in private shipyards (3) The National Cancer Institute has hired Porter Novelli Marketing of Washington, DC to put together a public service campaign. Porter Novelli has in turn hired Bean/Kahn Films International, Inc. to produce tele vision public service spot announcments. This firm has already filmed an asbestos ripout at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard with the approval of the Chief of _____ Naval Information 2 Mr. Dave Lavalette of the General Dynamics Corporate Office has agreed to serve as Chairman of the Ad Hoc C o m mittee. He has asked that there be representatives from the Industrial Health and Safety Committee, Workers Compen sation Committee and Industrial Relations Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee will hold its first meeting at the office of the SCA in Washington, DC at 10 AM on August 8, 1973. Frank R.
