A short memo of March 20, 1968, from H. M. Jackson at Johns-Manville's general headquarters to K. V. Lindell at the Jeffrey Mine in Quebec, copied to H. M. Ball and C. L. Sheckler, on C. L. Sheckler's letter of March 15 proposing a caution label for asbestos fiber. Jackson concurs "with the suggested format and wording" and writes that the label "conforms to the Manufacturing Chemists' Association recommended practice, which is generally accepted by U. S. industry and state and federal governmental agencies." He expects the wording to be "both precise and broad enough to satisfy the requirements for international usage."
