Isaac H. Weaver to John H. Marsh on Dr. Schepers' Comments at the 1965 Conference (1974)

A one-page Raybestos-Manhattan memo of November 4, 1974, from Isaac H. Weaver at Manheim to John H. Marsh, the company's director of environmental affairs, headed "Dr. Schepers' Comments at 1965 Conference on Biological Action of Asbestos." Weaver attached the comments, which are not included here, and wrote: "After reviewing it, I can see several possibilities why J-M might wish to denigrate Dr. Schepers." He had ordered a full copy of the conference volumes from Scholarly Reprints.

What it shows

Dr. Gerrit Schepers had directed the Saranac Laboratory in the 1950s. The memo shows Raybestos-Manhattan looking into his public statements in 1974 and expecting that Johns-Manville would want to discredit him. The handwritten notes at the foot of the page are not legible.
