A one-page statement by the Asbestos Information Association/North America, a trade group of more than 50 asbestos product makers, miners and millers in the United States and Canada, answering inquiries about the April 26, 1978, announcement by Joseph Califano, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, of an asbestos warning program. It said that "Worker exposure levels of the past and particularly those during wartime conditions are simply not relatable to present working conditions," and that millions of dollars had been spent on dust control.
