A 30 August 1976 response by the Asbestos Information Association/North America to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It answers the NRDC and Consumers Union petition of July 15, 1976 to ban asbestos-containing patching compounds as hazardous substances. It describes the use of asbestos in tape-joint compound, argues consumer exposures would be lower than the commercial drywall sanding exposures cited by the petitioners, comments on the medical evidence, and quotes Johns-Manville's statement to OSHA.
