Johns-Manville Corporation et al., Civil Action No. CA-78-107, Kanawha County, West Virginia) in support of Union Carbide's motion to dismiss. In it Myers states that Union Carbide has never mined, processed or sold asbestos for the heat insulation industry and that since 1963 it has mined, milled and marketed Calidria chrysotile, a short fiber he describes as not suited for insulation materials.
