A draft letter to King City plant employees responding to the April 26, 1978 announcement by HEW Secretary Califano of a government campaign to alert workers exposed to asbestos. It states that the campaign's radio spots overstate the risk, describes dust control, medical surveillance, sputum cytology and a smoking ban at the plant, and says the problems reported on TV are not relevant to the plant. Attached is a National Cancer Institute radio script dated June 21, 1978.
