3 A No, I don't have those data.
4 Q Do you know if anyone has them?
5 A No.
6 Q And as far as you know, Ford never
7 recommended that any air monitoring be done for dust
8 back in the '40s, '50s and '60s, did they?
9 A This was not considered a problem until the
10 early '70s.
11 Q Well, it wasn't --
12 A Late '60s perhaps.
13 Q It wasn't considered a problem until it was
14 discovered to be a problem, correct?
15 A Until it was discovered that this might be
16 an issue. It is still not related to be a problem, it
17 is now an issue.
18 Q Is it true, is it not, sir, if there were
19 enough exposure from asbestos brakes to cause
20 mesothelioma in the '40s and '50s and '60s, now would
