Internal Union Carbide letter from J. A. Riddle at King City to Paul W. McDaniel in New York, enclosing a San Francisco Chronicle article on mesothelioma and asbestos. Riddle asked whether the 5 MMPCF dust level was still adequate, whether remote-controlled equipment and air-line masks should be used, and for information on the comparative toxicology of asbestos types. Page 2 is a handwritten note signed 'John' calling the article a sensationalized newspaper story and saying the Corporation Medical Department was being consulted.
