A June 1990 cover memo from Jerry Parker to B. L. Carte forwards material on asbestos gasket removal at the Texas City plant. It says pipefitters and machinists got no asbestos-specific training beyond the attached contents, and that craftsmen were told to call the insulator shop. The attachments are two 1988 internal memos by R. B. Janik (asbestos on scaffold boards, asbestos gasket disposal), a gasket disposal instruction sheet, and a final page of reversed text that appears to be an asbestos warning sign.
