W alker SUBJECT: Asbestos - Free Joint Compounds The r e is increasing pressure to eliminate the use of asbestos, and we should da this where m a rket performance permits such action. Are we in compliance with the current regulations on labeling of joint compounds? Apparently there is some confusion or. this point, although I understand that we are in compliance. How quickly could we market an asbestos - free compound? I urge that we complete such a development through the field trial stage as rapidly as possible. This would permit a quick reaction to new regulations, or permit offering a special product to combat the ill effects of asbestos - containing products'. i_ Ii n 11 I'1 jNW/mb ce: T1o2 , J".
