A consultant's critique of data Union Carbide sent the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in a 7/14/77 letter, including results from a drywall repair job. It questions the sampling and electron-microscopy methods, the exposure calculations, Carbide's requested 1% asbestos limit for patching compounds, and its labeling request. Page 3 begins a separate outline of a statement to the CPSC on asbestos. Pages carry handwritten marginal notes.
