Internal Union Carbide memo confirming a May 7, 1979 telephone conversation about HR 8689, the proposed (Fenwick) Asbestos Health Hazards Compensation Act. It says the bill's wording "any product or substance containing asbestos" could be read to make fiber producers responsible parties, reports a discussion with a Johns-Manville counsel and the bill's political opposition, and recommends a low-profile, neutral position while the bill is watched.
