1 BY MR. IGNATOWSKI: Page 2142 2 Q I would like to show you what is the first 3 page of that invitation and it starts off and it is 4 dated August 8th, 1975, and this is the letter sent 5 out to the various members and individuals. 6 A Yes, it was. 7 Q In fact, did the letter itself discuss the 8 occurrence of mesothelioma? 9 A It tried to review some of the already 10 published information at the time, and there is a 11 series of references on the back of it. 12 Q Did it also indicate that from the 13 literature study and the review of the literature that 14 there was enough asbestos dust to cause disease even 15 after brake degradation? 16 A Based on, again, what we knew in 1975, we 17 felt there was enough exposure to have caused these 18 diseases and, therefore, we made this recommendation. 19 Q Now, I also noted that on the attendees 20 sheet there were individuals from the United Auto 21 Workers.
