Memo from W. V. Summers to A. Walker replying to a letter from W. A. Bagot about replacing asbestos gaskets with Grafoil gaskets at the Sistersville location. It says Grafoil was used in selected applications, that there was no wholesale effort to replace asbestos gaskets or packing, and that Bagot's safety and public-confidence comments seemed extreme. It also reports that the Sistersville IH group's research found EPA intended to stop manufacture of asbestos products but not to mandate discontinuing their use. Page 2 is a copy with handwritten corrections and additions.
