Internal memo from the Research and Development Department to marketing staff, with copies to F. H. Larrison, P. W. McDaniel, E. A. Piersall and J. W. Rawlings, summarizing EPA and OSHA asbestos exposure rules and the TLV, and recommending two respirators for customers. It lists four points of 'general agreement' about asbestos, says a public booklet on asbestos toxicology is being prepared, and states that the memo is not Corporate policy. Attached are respirator product sheets and pages of the Federal Register listing TLVs.
