Telexes Between H. Trautmann (Geneva) and J. W. Rawlings (New York) on an Asbestos Agreement with Degussa (1971)

Four telex pages from April 1971 about an asbestos agreement between Union Carbide and Degussa. Trautmann in Geneva proposed minimum dollar amounts for April 1971 through 1976 and repeatedly urged Rawlings in New York to reply. Rawlings telexed Degussa's Frankenbusch that a proposed agreement was being airmailed.
