A one-paragraph memorandum from the Asbestos International Association's Director General says Dr. Brian Commins forwarded observations dated 12 March 1985 on eight of nine 'Statements and Comments on those Statements' dated 7 February 1985. The attached pages give draft answers to statements such as 'One asbestos fibre can kill' and 'Inhaling asbestos causes lung cancer'. They say there is no firm evidence of risk to the general public and that mesothelioma risk is more associated with amosite and crocidolite than with chrysotile. The last text page carries Commins' name and the date 12th March 1985.
