The attached letter mailed to the Technical Committee July 6, 1973 reports the current status of the Association's study covering asbestos in joint treatment compound. Any additional input you may have available should be sent to the secretary.
You will also find attached a recent OSHA Citation which is sent to you, as in the past, for your information and files. This is the first OSHA Citation received By the Association relative to employee exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers and accompanies this status report since the plant mixing of joint compound is one phase of the prosposed Association program.
