Two-page memo from R. S. Wishart, Jr. to Kenneth Rush and a long list of Union Carbide executives. It states that, after a review of the Development Division's programs, the asbestos business's history and near-term economic prospects did not justify continued support, and that an orderly divestment was the only attractive alternative. It outlines a plan to tell asbestos customers that UCC intends to divest but will keep supplying asbestos products during the transfer, and requests approval. A handwritten note appears at the bottom of page 2.
