A February 1980 Union Carbide Metals Division internal cover memo from O. J. Malacarne forwarding articles on the causes of cancer, followed by an AIHC cover letter (Oct. 26, 1979), a reprint of Dr. Harry Demopoulos's talk to the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association, and a Science magazine interview excerpt (Sept. 1979) discussing cancer causation. The Demopoulos talk argues that most cancer is attributable to smoking, alcohol and diet and addresses occupational cancer, mesothelioma and asbestos in schools.
