A handwritten Union Carbide inter-company reply memo, dated 4/1/68, in which W. M. Marrison of the Seadrift HDPE plant sent Dr. R. E. Joyner at Texas City a newspaper article and asked for comments on how to handle asbestos fiber safely. He wrote that asbestos was handled routinely in the Poly F unit and that proper protective equipment probably had not been worn in the past. The attached clipping, headed 'Asbestos Linked to Cancer of Ovary', reports a presentation by Dr. John B. Graham on asbestos particles and ovarian cancer in rats and guinea pigs. It carries handwritten routing notes.
