To our knowledge, there is no known case of harm from Joint Cement containing Asbestos Fiber, even after prolonged exposure, numbered in many years. Thera is no truth to your information that "Since 1973 the E.P.A. has barred materials containing more than 1 percent Asbestos Fiber." There is no asbestos fiber in Gypsum Wallboard manufactured by Georgia-Pacific, nor to our knowledge, in other domestic gypsum wallboard manufacturers. Georgia-Pacific is in full compliance with all OSHA and E.P.A. requirements on the use of Asbestos Fiber in Joint Cement products. If I can be of further assistance, please advise. Very truly yours. l 0. E. Burch General Sales Manager Gypsum Divisidn/^ 0BB:ns bcc: Messrs. G. E. Wilson - Portland )i S. S. Dennison - Portland ) w/attachment C. W. Lehnert - Tigard Lab ) I T. E.
