Letter confirming a June 5, 1972 telephone conversation and reporting Union Carbide's analysis of samples taken at Georgia-Pacific's plant on May 25. Samples were analyzed for magnesium and asbestos content was estimated from it. The letter concludes that the 'lumps' in the product are agglomerates of dry filler, not clumps of asbestos, and says Material Safety Data sheets and background information on asbestos were enclosed.
