A cover memo from F. D. Dexter to about 25 named recipients announced a workshop on the Calidria asbestos business for October 11, 1968, in the 26th floor conference room. The attached outline and charts reviewed 1967 and 1968 performance against plan, listed five alternative courses of action (continue, joint venture, divest in 1969, divest in 1968, abandon), and recommended divesting during 1969. A final page set out statements about the planned divestment.
