C. L. Sheckler to Frank H. Zimmerman on Agreement over the Asbestos-Cement Health Safety Booklet (1968)

A one-page letter of May 8, 1968, from C. L. Sheckler of the Johns-Manville Research and Engineering Center to Frank H. Zimmerman, director of safety at National Gypsum Company, thanking him for his "comprehensive review" of the booklet "Recommended Health Safety Practices for Handling and Applying Asbestos-Cement Products." Sheckler noted "an apparent difference of opinion" among the council members, said Certain-Teed, General Aniline and Film, and Johns-Manville had tentatively approved the draft, and wrote that unanimous agreement on any publication dealing with health was "especially desirable in view of the continuous adverse publicity and attacks on various materials." He asked Zimmerman to attend another council meeting.
