For the past two years and particularly during the
last 18 mon t h s , I have attempted to communicate
to R/M management the seriousness of the asbestos
health issue as it relates to R/M. I thought
the meeting in June 1973 at which mortality
and morbidity data was reviewed in detail would be
more than sufficient to shock people into action. except N.Ch & Marshville
This has not happened.' Little action - very
poor communications. - See next pg
Important to understand. R/M is in a unique and vulnerable
position - not typical of asbestos industry as a
whole - H K Porter probably next most vulnerable
Other more hazardous operations have been
eliminated. Patterson insulation plant shut down.
Tyler, Tex. insulation plant eliminated, JM dusty
operations cleaned up or, shut down.
