A short cover memo dated June 1973 transmits a draft letter explaining why the writer's company was putting an asbestos caution label on some joint system bags, so field sales staff could answer customer inquiries. The enclosed draft states the label wording and the OSHA labeling requirement, and says the company was not aware of health problems in the joint compound industry. It also says the company was working toward non-asbestos joint compound formulas.
