A - e July 20, 1973 Ms ' lolland, The stamped alumlhum wheel program has , been accelerated by shifting monies from ' various projects. One of these projects is the asbestos free brake lining; the dai data are attached. According to my inf'rmation Chassis only spent $2,000 of their original $11^,000 for asbestos free brake lining. They have told Tech. Plan ning that the venders are slowing their efforts. I doubt this and feel that probably Chassis is not pursuing this project with any Intensity. Please check into it and report to me by 7/25 keeP Carolyn informed. !
