Letter from the AIA/NA Secretary to the Washington Post's managing editor objecting to the paper's October 8, 1971 story on the National Research Council's asbestos dust recommendations. It said the story wrongly stated that asbestos poses a hazard to the general public, and that the industry agreed with the Council's facts and recommendations while supporting reasonable regulation to prevent hazardous levels in the future.
