A one-page letter of July 26, 1973, from W. B. Reitze to C. L. Sheckler, J-M's retired industrial hygiene chief, at his home in New Jersey. Reitze sends a description (not in this file) of a proposed silica-asbestos study of the Stockton and Manville plants, budgeted at $60,000, and expects "a bit of a problem getting George's approval." He writes: "Cliff, I agree we at J-M have a very strong moral obligation to our people to find some answers. J-M is the only quantity source of this type of information available."
