A one-page confidential Johns-Manville memo of September 1, 1950, from J. P. Woodard of industrial relations to A. R. Fisher, headed "Industrial Hygiene - Asbestos / Asbestos and Lung Cancer." Woodard reported that Dr. Paul Cartier and Dr. Kenneth Smith had met in New York and then at Saranac with Dr. Anthony Lanza and Dr. Arthur Vorwald to discuss "the proper program that would determine whether asbestos produces lung cancer." He attached his copy of Dr. Lanza's report to the two doctors and asked Fisher to pass it on to Hugh Jackson after reading it.
