Johns-Manville's legal department indexed the Motley 1,000 in 1984. Its index describes this document as follows:

E.M. Fenner memo to Labeling Review Committee, 11/6/74, entitled "Meeting -- Labeling Review Committee." Fenner states that the next meeting of the Labeling Review Committee will be on 11/15/74. Items presently on the agenda for discussion are (1) size and location of the present label on asbestos fiber shipping bags and (2) discussion of the need to label asbestos fiber-containing products sold on the international market. Item no. 3 on the agenda is blacked out. Fenner also encloses the "Draft for Proposed American National Standard Guide to Precautionary Labeling of Hazardous Chemicals," prepared by the Labels and Precautionary Information Committee of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association. (Enclosed is not attached.) Because of the increase in government regulations in the 1960's and 1970's concerning the labeling of hazardous materials, J-M felt it was necesary to establish a systematic approach to the labeling of its products in order to ensure compliance with government regulations. For this reason, J-M created its Labeling Review Committee in October 1974. For more information on the Labeling Review Committee, see J-10-49 J-M Knowledge Misc. Issue File Vol. II.
