Weaver SUBJECT: Asbestos Sampling October 14, 1972 Attached is a copy of our latest report of asbestos dust sampling. I have inserted the last test results as a comparison. You will notice one or two areas where work is needed, but the average is well below the five fiber standard in effect now and within the two fiber level re quired in 1976. cc: W. R.
