A Union Carbide report of a telephone call with Dr. W. H. Krebbs of General Motors, made to set up a meeting with Castrob about reports that GM divisions were refusing to consider asbestos products that were cut or abraded. Krebbs described GM's position on asbestos use and the OSHA directives he knew of, and the writer gave his opinion that plant managers were pressuring suppliers to eliminate asbestos and that no corporate edict existed.
