Larrison sent the New York Public Relations Department, at R. G. Beverly's request, a Salinas Californian article of 3-6-73 about the King City Asbestos Operation. He also sent a clipping reporting Dr. Irving Selikoff's Senate subcommittee testimony. He wrote that the Salinas reporter was told Union Carbide had no comment on the testimony, but that the problems in general, the company's concern and its actions were discussed, and the Californian article resulted. The clipping reports Selikoff's prediction of asbestos-related deaths.
