A cover memo from W. C. Thurber to Dr. J. J. Welsh asked for the Medical Department's views on keeping employee physical examination results confidential under the OSHA asbestos regulations, and for a statement of opposition to help the Asbestos Information Association. The attachment is a March 4, 1974 memo to Thurber from the "Calidria" Asbestos department at Niagara Falls. It reported union pressure for confidential exam results and suggested that the Consumer Product Safety Commission needed background on asbestos.
