Internal letter in which H. B. Rhodes answered R. L. Folkman's December 28, 1976 request for comment on the NIOSH asbestos statement. He summarized the OSHA 1975 proposal and the NIOSH position, said the King City plant was generally meeting the 2 fiber/cc level, and said a 0.1 fiber/cc standard could push customers toward alternative products. The exhibit also holds Folkman's request, a Wall Street Journal article on the NIOSH recommendation, and a page from a summary of a free-silica standard.
