JGM Cover Note Forwarding Union Carbide Asbestos Business Divestiture Plan Workshop Presentation (1971)

A handwritten cover note dated 2-15-71 and stamped received Feb 17 1971 forwards attached material from files sent by Frank Dexter. The writer calls the material shocking and says more may be in other files. Behind a tab marked "K2. Group I Divestiture Plan" is the script of an undated workshop presentation, apparently from 1968, that reviews the Calidria asbestos business's results against plan and recommends that Union Carbide divest the business in 1969. A page of handwritten notes closes the exhibit.
