Compilation of 1968 papers on the Asbestos Business workshop of October 11, 1968. It includes an October 14 memo from F. D. Dexter asking permission to send a 'position paper' to Union Carbide's own people, an October 15 cover memo, handwritten notes, and the text of the workshop presentation. The presentation reviewed 1967-68 performance against plan, King City operations and market areas, and recommended that Union Carbide divest the Calidria asbestos business in 1969. The October 15 memo said the business would be organized as a separate subsidiary and operated vigorously.
