A cover memo from the AIA/NA executive director reports on the task force's preparation of industry comments due to OSHA on April 9, 1976, and forwards the statement of the Association's medical consultant, Dr. Hans Weill. Weill's attached comments review the literature OSHA cited for a proposed revision of the asbestos standard and argue that it does not support lowering the limit from 2 fibers/ml to 0.5 fibers/ml. A curriculum vitae of Weill follows.
