A September 1966 memorandum, subject 'Asbestos - Toxicology', forwarded press clippings on asbestos and health to Union Carbide sales and technical staff. It told them to keep using Dr. Dernehl's 'Asbestos Toxicology Report' and FDA statements with customers, and listed points to make about Union Carbide's asbestos, including pelletized form, no jute bags, and the absence of organic material. The attachments are the Dernehl/Lane toxicology report, a London Sunday Times article on mesothelioma, and a Chemical Week article of September 10, 1966.
