Internal letter from the Gulf Coast Area Medical Director to a distribution list, dated 29 December 1971. It summarizes the emergency standard for exposure to asbestos dust that the Assistant Secretary of Labor published in the Federal Register on December 7, 1971, and lists seven pertinent items. These include a TLV change from 12 to 5 fibers per milliliter, respirator requirements, local exhaust ventilation, closed mixing, sealed waste and vacuum cleanup. The letter offers help from Dr. Joyner or Mr. Donald Deese in implementing the standards. The first page is the distribution list, with asterisks marking recipients who received an attachment.
