Memo on the subject 'Asbestos Fiber' saying the company sold joint compounds and interior surfacing textures containing three to seven percent asbestos fiber, at over 50,000 tons a year. It says the company was reducing or eliminating asbestos in its texture line and would speed up efforts to remove it from joint compounds, which it expected to be harder. It also mentions possible limits on asbestos quantity and a seminar mentioned by Mr. Fay.
