Four pages of minutes of the Asbestos Textile Institute's General Meeting of March 10, 1955, in Philadelphia, chaired by F. J. Wakem of Johns-Manville and signed by its secretary, M. C. Shaw. H. M. Jackson reported that the Air Hygiene Committee was reviewing studies to be made by outside experts on "the role asbestos may play in promoting diseases of the heart and lungs," with more discussion needed before any recommendation to the Institute. Other reports covered cloth standards, proposals to have asbestos textiles tested at atomic bomb tests, confidential testing for members at the fellowship laboratory, and a Washington exhibit that was called off.
