Letter from Degussa to Union Carbide's James W. Rawlings replying to his letter of Jan 11, 1972 and a Union Carbide Europe letter, which had accused Degussa and its French subsidiary of disparaging asbestos thickening agents. Degussa said it never intended to discredit Union Carbide, that it had limited its representatives' statements on toxic properties to the attached publication, and that its decision to stop selling asbestos thickening agents rested on its own opinion of their toxic properties. The enclosures are a German-language customer circular of 29 Nov 1971 and a German summary of the toxicological literature on asbestos fiber products.
