A press statement issued by the Asbestos Information Association/North America responding to the NIOSH recommendation that OSHA reduce the permissible asbestos exposure level from 2 fibers to 0.1 fiber. It quotes AIA/NA President Thomas A. Dougherty as saying the NIOSH-OSHA report failed to justify the twenty-fold reduction and that a 0.1 fiber standard could not be achieved at many work stations. A handwritten cc list appears at the top of page 1.
