Union Carbide Asbestos 5-Year Plan (1978-82) with Calidria Sales Forecasts and W. C. Thurber Forecast Memo (1977)

C. Thurber transmitting a revised 5-year forecast. The narrative discusses the King City mill, expected sales growth, OSHA and NIOSH fiber-level proposals, and the new products RG-600 and RG-244.
