A cover memo from H. B. Rhodes transmits the final version of a "Calidria" Asbestos Health and OSHA Information package for RG-244 and RG-600, dated February 1, 1975. The package summarizes the OSHA asbestos standard, tabulates airborne fiber counts taken during RG-244 dumping, resin spraying and sanding or grinding, and attaches Asbestos Information Association pamphlets, the 1972 Federal Register standard, a Material Safety Data sheet and chemical analysis of RG-244. A final page is a September 1975 telecommunications message from W. C. Thurber to F. H. Harrison at King City requesting production tonnage figures.
