A one-page memo dated March 29, 1972, headed "Asbestos." It states that the Labor Department standard was 5 fibers per cubic centimeter of air and that measurements in various operating areas met it. It says many people expected the standard to fall to about 2 fibers by June 1974, and urges R&D to work on minimizing asbestos use, including an asbestos-free molding compound. It adds that the plant would keep modifying equipment or procedures, but equipment changes alone could not achieve satisfactory operation if permissible levels were cut much further.
