A one-page agenda, with handwritten notes, for a meeting on the biological effects of exposure to asbestos dust held in Philadelphia on August 21, 1974. It lists reviews of mortality studies (Enterline's study of 7,500 friction material workers, Mancuso and a NIOSH study on the Manheim plant) and of morbidity data for Manheim, North Charleston and Stratford; Dr. Murphy's paper on chest auscultation, with the question "Should R/M assist in funding additional research?"; and "Fiber Size and Carcinogenicity. Evaluation of Size Distribution of NOVATEX Fibers." Later items cover future disease trends based on past and present dust levels, cooperation with researchers "as Requested by Drs. Gilson and Mancuso," and the medical surveillance program.
